Description: Fully titled and subtitled, Osgood's Progressive Fourth Reader : Containing the Principles of Elocution, with Reading Lessons in Prose and Poetry, From the Best Authors. Designed for Grammar Schools. Published A.H. English & Co of Pittsburgh. There is no date on the title page, just 1856 on the copyright page. The earliest published version of this on Worldcat is 1856, and I assume therefore that the First Edition was published in 1856 and that this one is the First Edition. Overall in GOOD CONDITION, with some wear issues to note. Boards with moderate to heavy corner and edge wear, and where boards meet the spine. The leather spine has embossed titling and decoration, and if at some time this lettering and decoration were gilt, it is no longer gilt. The pages have marble edges and are solidly bound. A previous child owner scribbled on the front blank endpapers, but a careful flip through did not reveal any further markings. 352 clean pages with light foxing throughout; the foxing is a bit heavier on page bottoms in the beginning up to about page 20.
