This is a little 5 & 1/2" by 3 & 1/2" "Trifles for Children" book from about 1812.  It was published by Samuel Wood & Sons of New York.  There are lots of drawings illustrating various pages of the book.  It has an inscription which reads "John Edward Stevens Westford - if you steel this book you will git shame for it is a wicked thing."  The same inscription is on a second book dated 1913 which I am also listing.  They are in good condition with foxing and light wear but complete, legible and intact.
