Item description from seller

- Tricesimo-secundo (32mo), 6 inches high by 4 inches wide. Hardcover, bound in green cloth titled & decorated in gilt on the spine. The covers are bumped, rubbed & stained. 103 pages, illustrated with a frontispiece, 1 plate and 6 textual woodcuts. The bottom of the front hinge is cracked with the first signature starting to come loose. There is occasional foxing and a few page corners are creased with a tiny tear to the front edge of one leaf. Good. The dramatic frontispiece pictures a drunken man holding a bottle from which a winged serpent rises to attack him.Julia Colman (1828-1909) wrote under the pen name "Aunt Julia". She was a writer and activist in the temperance movement. She was also a crusader against tobacco. As a young woman in Fond du lac Wisconsin where her father was a missionary to the Oneida people she reached out to the Oneida children. Colman was co-author with Matilda G. Thompson of "The Child's anti-slavery book: containing a few words about American slave children, and stories of slave life".The copyright is that of Carlton & Porter who published a series of children's chap-books for the Sunday School Union of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The temperance story at hand is most probably a work in that series.RARE.…
