Note: An interesting educational experiment. Words of two or three syllables are hyphenated to simplify their reading: 'Lu-cy How-ard', 'mam-ma', 'Hen-ry', 'Lu-cy had wish-ed a long time to have a cra-dle for her doll'. The work was first published in 1810 by Tabart and Co. at the Juvenile and School Library. This edition is not in the BL and is not recorded on Jisc Library Hub Discover.
