London: L. B. Seeley and Sons., 1834. First edition. 12mo. Publisher's original patterned burgundy cloth with titles in gilt to the upper board. All edges gilt. Illustrated with seven engraved plates, including frontispiece. Contemporary gift inscription in ink on the rear endpaper. 92pp. A very good copy, the binding firm with a touch of cracking in places, fading to the spine and a little bumping to the corners. The contents with some occasional light foxing are otherwise in very good order. An uncommon educational work by Eliza Cheap (fl. 1820s-1830s) drawing upon zoological and botanical metaphors to illustrate a series of moral lessons for children. The fables include "The Parrot, Bullfinch, Monkey, and Bee"; "The Tree and its Branches"; "The Basket of Tools"; "The Vine, the Rose, and Other Plants"; "The Work-Box"; and "The Bees in the Hive".

Descripción:
London: L.B. Seeley and Sons, 1834 First edition. Publisher's brown cloth with dark brown leather label stamped in gilt. . Twelvemo. With seven attractive engraved plates (including frontispiece). Some soiling to cloth. All edges gilt. Yellow coated endpapers. A clean copy aside from some dampstaining to endpapers. Ink gift signature (1835) to front flyleaf. A very good copy of a scarce work. A didactic work for children that utilizes natural history to illustrate moral lessons. The first chapter explains the behavior and anatomy of monkeys, bees, parrots, and bullfinches, while the second uses the grafting of fruit trees as a metaphor—complete with an illustration of a man cutting a branch for grafting. Other chapters explain the tools needed for carpentry, sewing, and painting, and revisit botanical and zoological metaphors.
