Remark:
This book seems to fit in between my 1869 first edition and the later book I have listed under 1879? from the same publisher. It is larger like the later book, and Miller's address is as in the later book. The book is covered in green cloth with gold embossing as on the other two copies. The order of illustrations is as in the original, but two have moved slightly. The Squeak of a Pig is now on 22, and The Hog, Ox, Cow, Dog, and Sheep is now on 140. As in the later edition, there are no advertisements at the end. See my comments on both of those editions. There is a bookplate from Ril T. Baker of Greenville, Ohio. There is some staining in the book.
