NEW AMERICAN SPELLING BOOK, CALCULATED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS, IN THE 
UNITED STATES. Philadelphia: M'Carty & Davis, 1827. New Edition. 
Duodecimo (3-3/4" x 6-1/2") in original sheep-backed boards; 167 pages. 
Shoemaker 28348. Illustrated with small woodcuts, about half of which 
are crudely colored by hand. The title page bears a large woodcut of a 
variation of the United States Presidential Seal, similar to the Masi 
Treaty-Seal die of 1825 but not exactly matching. 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.
