Description
Up for a 5 Day Auction is this Book: "Saunder's Fifth Reader". It was written by Charles Walton Saunders and Joshua C. Saunders. It was published in 1848 by Mark H. Newman & Co. It is a First Edition. It is meant to follow the Fourth Reader. The book's spine is beautifully embossed leather. The boards are cloth. It is 456 pages in length. The first 70 pages are a study in locution. The remaining pages are taken from writings in history and literature. It is still quite tightly bound. The contents are the bells and whistles. Writings from Pope, Rousseau, Webster, Cowper, Irving Madison to name a few of so many. What a read. Now, having said that, the book is well worn, heavily foxed with too many minor tears, spots etc. to mention. The fly sheets are missing. The board opens to the title page. If you can get beyond all of that, you will be transcended by the writings chosen by the authors with opening explanatory notes on some. There is a description of exploring Rome that is just joyful in the little nuances of the writing. Would that we were now educating our children with the likes of this. Pictures to follow tomorrow.

This is beautiful. It arrived well packed and secure. My wife was crazy happy about it! Thank you so much. The post office took its time but that DOES NOT reflect on the seller. 6 stars!
