The first book of poetry. For the use of schools. Intended as reading lessons for the younger classes. By W. F. Mylius. With two engravings.

Includes 22 pieces, signed Mrs. Leicester, reprinted from Charles and Mary Lamb's "Poetry for children", 1809 (a very rare book), and one signed "M. L.", changed in later editions to "C. L." (cf. L. S. Livingston's Bibliography of Charles and Mary Lamb, 1903, p. 97; J. C. Thomson, Bibliography of C. and M. Lamb, 1908, p. 34) Two other poems signed "Mrs. Leicester" may also be theirs.
