Syracuse, N.Y.E. H. Babcock. 1853. 60pp. 56 being rebus puzzles illustrated with wood-engravings; 4 pages being the 'key.' Original pictorial brown gilt covers. Oblong 13 x 17.5 cm's. Some foxing throughout; corners and covers worn; short tear in edge of title; but still a good copy of a very scarce book. The copyright date is 1849, which would indicate that this is an early printing. However this title appears to be absent from all of the major collections of children's books.
