NOTES
The only copy analysed for this ed. was on the market in 2018: it has not been possible to analyse it entirely and only through digital reproductions
Another book with the same title but different conts has been traced: The ABC of Country Scenes, Alphabet of Favourite Animals, Miss Mousie's Wedding and Ball and The Three Friends of Man (BL: 12807.k.2.)
It is possible to distinguish it from the other with the same title because this one was advertised, in undated publishers' catalogues inserted at the end of other books, as: 'With 42 Coloured Illustrations (many full-page)'
