  • WATKINS, Rev. I. B.
    A COLLECTION OF ANECDOTES FOR YOUTH, Religious, Moral, and Entertaining, selected from ancient and modern history, biography, voyages, travels, &c. &c. Embellished with numerous engravings

    London.Jones and Co, 1823. 2 volumes. 286pp. 138 engraved plates. Full diced calf gilt. Almost certainly intended to be bound as one (Though this would have created an extremely cumbersome little book.) as the pagination is continuous throughout both volumes, and the placing of the second title page would appear to be determined by convenience. Crudely repaired tear in the folding frontispiece to volume one; else a very attractive set of this interesting work.The author's efforts are more commonly encountered in his sobering Scripture History For Youth.
