General Notes:

Verse and prose.
"Many wrong ideas are impressed on the infant mind ... The erroneous opinions which little children often form from hearing of animals which have no existence, and seeing representations of them, are calculated to produce an injurious effect upon their inexperienced minds; hence, is evident the propriety of witholding from them every thing but truth, or fiction presented in such form as cannot be mistaken, such as useful fables."--p. [3].
Title vignette has caption: "Learn to unlearn what you have learned amiss."
"Samuel Wood & Sons ... and Samuel S. Wood & Co. ... have for sale, a large collection of books and stationary, a general assortment of school books, and a great variety of small books, with neat cuts and pretty stories for little children. A liberal allowance made to those who buy to sell again."--advertisement, p. [42].
