Not dated but circa 1820. 32mo.32pp Bound in yelow printed wrappers printed on both sides with text. Illustrated with 12 woodcut vignettes. The first and last leaf are both laid down inside the wrapper, as issued. A very good plus copy. An abridged chapbook version of The Renowned History of Giles Gingerbread which was published about 1765. According to Osborne (I, p.314) it is probably by John Newbery, who is described in Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield as "the philanthropic bookseller in St. Paul's Churchyard who. was at the time actually compiling materials for the history of one Mr. Thomas Trip".

Three sets of alphabets - Roman Capital Letters, Old English Capital and Small Letters, and Italic Capital and Small Letters - are printed on the verso of the title. Two poems, "The Boy Who Knew Nothing" and "Praise for the Gospel" are included at the end. Size 102 x 64 mm (4 x 2.5 inches).…
