contents: This children's book consists of a number of explanatory verses and pictures about all sorts of things such as: the fool, the learned man, the greengrocer, a man-of-war, the five senses, faith, hope and charity and the Palace on the Dam. The printer shares the page with the pancake booth, the postman and the roundabout. The accompanying rhyme tells the children that printing books is the noblest of the arts, for `it makes the stupid wise'.
