Description/Abstract:: This third edition is dated 1805. The author is credited with a Master of Arts and as the author of three other books. Bingham's book is based on the notion that children love to receive letters and cherish the ability to respond on their own. The intent of the book is to assist students in learning to write, specifically letters, by making writing a pleasurable experience. The book consists of many example letters that children may write or receive. The Schultz Archive includes the complete text of the third edition (pages 20-21 are repeated), and a single page (page 60) is difficult to read. Otherwise, the text is in good condition.

Description/Abstract:: 1857 printing of the 1856 copyrighted work. Conceived as an alternative to the Letter Writers which merely supply sample epistles to be copied or imitated. It wishes to provide instructions for young writers who wish to think for themselves. It credits the influence of Jardine's Principles of English Composition, Newman's Rhetoric, Fowler's English Grammar, Parker's Aids to English Composition and Letter Writing Simplified, Wilson's Treatise on Punctuation, and Mrs. Hale's Dictionary of Poetical Quotations and The Treasury of Knowledge. For a list of subjects, see the text's title. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

Description/Abstract:: 1834 printing of the 1834 copyrighted text. The author is credited as Mrs. John Farrar and is the author of Congo In Search of His Master and The Children's Robinson Crusoe. The text seeks to address the difficulty children have in writing letters (epistles) and to offer an alternative to another popular text, Complete Letter-Writer, which the author finds filled with absurdities and faults. The text offers general directions, simple criticism, and good examples in the form of a narrative about a young letter writer of fourteen. The work covers many topics, such as punctuation, paragraphs, folding letters, sample topics, and invitations. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.
