Well 2 extremely rare titles, only found one copy of each title in 2 different institutions. Unique item Observation is dated 1844 2nd edition, The Work-Bag does not have a title page, and starts with a single sided illustration opposite page one with The Work-Bag to top and ends at page 89 with Graham & Co printers, printed at the base. We are not sure if 2nd illustration is for Observation or Work-Bag, though net seems to suggest there were 2 plates in Observation & 1 plate and iv + 104 +pages in Work-Bag, presumably 104 includes a title page and poss a preface? . But seems this copy the binder did not bind one plate and a few unnumbered pages from Work-Bag, presumably because they did not think them necessary or was a different edition?, but we cannot see any signs of being removed. Rare publisher too Joseph Graham 2 Jewry Street, Aldgate, London. To sum up this is a unique children’s book, of 2 different titles, only located one copy of each title in World Cat.
