8vo.
16pp. Printed on one side of the leaf only (alternative between rectos and versos). Engraved and hand-coloured throughout. With a final leaf of publisher's advertisements. Original publisher's printed buff stiff-paper wrappers. Rubbed and marked, chipping to spine, slight surface loss to lower panel. Advertisement leaf detached, else internally clean and crisp.
An apparently unrecorded variant of a charming, finely executed, addition to Harris's Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction; an instructional guide for young readers on the fundamentals of grammar, replete with handsome illustrations. Issues are distinguished by the number of titles listed in the publisher's advertisements, and the placement of the present work within said list; for example, a copy held by the British Library includes a list of 25 items, The Paths of Learning being number 19.
This variant, unrecorded by neither Moon nor the usual databases, contains a book-list of 38 titles, with The Paths of Learning placed at number 18.
