Notes:

The American Antiquarian Society copy bears a contemporary inscription attributing the text to Daniel Fitz.

"The present restrictions of commerce between the United States and Great Britain having prevented a supply of those juvenile books, whence they have been generally received, and which have been reprinted as New-Year's gifts, has induced the publisher to lay before the publick this little volume."--Advertisement to the first edition, p. [4]. Dated: Boston, Jan. 1, 1813.

"The popular opinion has been kindly testified by the rapid sale of this little work. In less than twelve months upwards of one thousand copies have been disposed of; and the increasing demand ... has warranted a second edition."--Advertisement to the second edition, p. [5]. Dated: Boston, Jan. 1, 1814.
