Sobre este artículo
London: W. Wetton, [s.d]., c.1820s 177pp, [1]. With woodcut frontispiece and four further woodcuts within text. Contemporary tree-calf, gilt, for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, with their blind-stamped supra-libros to upper board. Rubbed, lower board detached, upper board holding by a single binding cord, some loss to spine. Internally clean and crisp. A rare children's book of insects, apparently from the same series of juvenile natural history works as the Dublin editions of titles now considered to have been produced for the Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor of Ireland. It features occasional verses, such as 'The Gnat'; 'The little Gnat, its beauties, may compare, With all its rival brothers of the air...', and 'On Cruelty to Insects'. COPAC records no copies of this London imprint; OCLC adds Florida, Guelph, McGill and UCLA only. . 12mo.
