UNITED STATES. Philadelphia: M'Carty & Davis, 1827. New Edition. 
Duodecimo in original sheep-backed boards; 167 pages. Shoemaker 28348. 
Illustrated with small woodcuts, about half of which are crudely colored

United States Presidential Seal, similar to the Masi Treaty-Seal die of 
1825 but not exactly matching (see image below). A scarce early American 
spelling book. Moderate foxing, early signatures on endpapers. Some loss 
of leather on the spine; covers a little loose but firm. Good.
