About This Item
[Manchester]: S. Johnson, [s.d., c. 1840] 30pp, [2]. First and last leaves pasted to wrappers, included in pagination. Original publisher's yellow printed wrappers. A trifle dusty. Spotted. An apparently unrecorded, Manchester-printed popular one penny chapbook catechism, which in addition to the usual questions on scripture, contains directions for children on how to properly behave in church and notes on respecting their parents and tutors, and features on the lower wrapper an incongruous, and somewhat disturbing, wood-engraving of a male lion mauling a man. . 32mo.
