• Notes

  • "Blackie and Son, Limited" printed in lower right corner of p. [1].
  • "The book contains no less than thirty-one carefully-prepared alphabets, besides many lines of words and sentences ... Two lines of letters, and in many cases three, where the characters are small, occupy the page, which is ruled in fine dotted lines as guides for drawing the letters, ample space beneath being given in every case for copying. The two first letters of each line of printing are indicated below to show how they are to be formed."--Page 2 of cover.
  • "Vere Foster's Copy Books __No 10" printed in bottom left corner of each page.
