A Book IVMch Tanjjlit Oar Fore fathers Spelling and Theology at the Same Time. Tho horn-book, which was the ( simplest form of the primer, was in use in New England down to the ,' timo of (jcorga 11., and it is but rea sonable to suppose that the Puritan3 and Pilgrims brought over their horn-books with their other scant paraphernalia of education. But the printing press that was set up in Cambridge in 1G39 was too busy in producing books to allow the single page of the horn-book toehold its place as the chief source of tho elementary knowledge of tho English language, and the primeror pri-mer, as the people of New England used to call it, and as many of the people of old Now England call it still soon came in to take its place. There was then no education of children of tho kind that is now called secular, for the little learner look in his literature and theology at the same time, for the creed was printed alongside of the alphabet. The Now England primer was tho legitimate successor of the primers that the Puritans and their fathers and grandfathers to remote genera tions had studied in Old England. No one knows when the first N?w England primer was pub-li-hod, or by whom it was compiled, cr by what artist it vi as first "adorned with cuts." There is a single copy extant of the Indian primer, in the Natick lan guage, compiled by John Eliot, and printed at Cambridge in 1669, and the contents of this, Dr. J. Ham mond Trumbull thinks, "aro sub stantially tho 8am as those of tho earliest New England primers in the -Lngiisn language before they had bacn 'enlarged' or 'improved' or 'adorned with cuts."' The Indian primer give3 the first six pages to the alphabet, and reading and spell ing lessons, the words being divided into syllables, and then como tho Lord's prayer, with an exposition in Hie form of a catechism ; the Apos tle's Creed, with a catechitical expo sition; Christian Duties for Second Stales, collected out of tho holy Scripture; tho Largo Catechism"; a Short Catechism; the numeral letters and figures, tho names and order of the books of the Old and New Tostament. The oldest known fragment of a New England primer, consists of four leaves only, which made part of the original binding of a book printed by "William Bradford, in 1053. These were discovered by Dr. Trumbull, in 18S1 , and he is of opinion that they came from a Philadelphia leprint 6f a Boston edition of tho primer, which must have been pub lished at least as early as 1637. In Newman's Boston Almanac for 1G91, is tho following advertisement: There is now in the press and suddenly t3 be extant, a scennd iraprcj-ion of tho New England Piimer, cnla-red, to Wii-h Uj addeJ more Direc ti ms for Spelling: the Prayer of E:n? Edward the oth, and Verses nude by Mr. Rogers, tho Martyr, le't as a legacy to his Children. S 1 J bv Benjamin Harris, at the London Coffce Ifouse. No copy of this edition is supposed to be in existence. The "Verse3 made by Mr. John Rogers, a martyr in Queen Marie's reign," had already bAen printed in Boston in 1635. They were, in fact, written by Rob ert Smith, a contemporary of Rogers, and later a martyr, also. Dr. Trum bull says he has not been able to identify the prayer of Edward VI., but suggests that it may have been "a prayer to be said by children, be fore they study their lessons at sr-hool," which uas first printed in English, at the end of King Edward's Short Catechism, in 1353. It was omitted from subsequent editions of the primer. So far as known, the oldest copy of the primer that has been preserved, was printed in Boston, bv Thomas Fleet, in 1737. It is entitled "The 2ev,' England Primer Enlarged. For the 3Ioro Easy Attaining thoTruo Reading of English. To Which is Added, the Assembly of Divine's Catechism." On the inside of the first leaf, before tho title, is a woodcut "of King George the Second;" on the reverse a ghastly imaso labeled, "The Pope, or Man of Sin." Tho book contained "The Great Capital Letters," "The Small Letters," "Easio Syllables for Children," "Words of One Syllable," and up wards to those terrible "Words of Six Syllables," beginning with "A-bo-mi-na-ti-on" and ending with "Qual-i-fi-ca-ti-on." Then come the chief attractions of the primer, the rude woodcuts and their associated rhymo3, from "In Adam's fall, We sinned all," Down through tho alphabet to "Zacchcm he Did climb the trcs Oar Lord to see." These are followed by "Tho Duti ful Child's Promises," which in later editions are omitted to give room for the Scripture questions beginning with: "Who was the first man?" Then come an "Alphabet of Lessons for Youth" in verses, or parts of verses, from the Bible; the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, the Ten Com mandments, texts Bhowing tho "Duty of Children Towards Their Parents," and two paces of verses, a portion of which every child was directed to "learn by heart." One of these was tho "familiar littlo prayer, "ifow I lay mt dorm to sleep, I pray the Lord my seal to keep; It I should dio before 1 w&ks, 1 urav the Lord rar soul to take," Which every child did learn by heart, and it became more familiar to English-speaking Protestants than any other prayer in the language, the Lord's prayer only, excepted. Only a short time before his death, the "venerable John Quincy Adams paid that he had never laid his head upon his pillow without saying this prayer as his mother had taught him to do in childhood. After the short verses, prayers at lving down, and for the morning follow the "Names and Orders of the Books of the Old and New Tes taments," Verses for Little Chil dren," becrinning: '"ThoHJfh I am younj, a MtU one," And the hymn "Lord, if thou lengthen out tny days." Turning the leaf, we come upon the rude type-metal cut of Mr. John Rogers being burnt at Smithfield, "his wife with nine small chil dren and one at her breast, following him to the stake." This statement as to the martyr's progeny is not quite correct, whether the youngest child bo reckoned as included as in the nine or in addition. The true number, verified by the genealogical record, is given byFoxe, who, in 1562, published the first account of tho martyrdom in his "Acts and Monuments." He says that Mr. Rogers' "wife and children being eleven in number, ten able to go, and one sucking at tho breast, met him on the way as he went toward Smithfield." Mr. Rogers was not "burnod at Smithfield February 14, 1554, as the primer has it in every one of its innumerable editions, but on February 4, 1555. The verses ac companying tho illustration are tho same mentioned in tho advertise ment of the addition of 1691. Tho remaining half of the primer of 1737 is occupied by tho Assembly's Shorter Catechism. Between this time and 1763, when tho next edition of which we have any knowledgo was printed.the great revival of religion had taken place in New England and the primer be camo distinctly evangelical, rather than anti-papal. Every couplet was made to have a Biblical or doctrinal reference. "The cat doth play and after slay" becamo "Christ crucify'd forsinners dy'd;" "a dog will bito a thief at night" was exchanged for "tho deluge drown'd the earth around," and tho decidedly old En g'ish suggestion that "nightingales sing in time of spring" gave way to "Noah did view the Old World and New." Another reminiscence of the mother country under O "The royal oak it was the tree, that sav'd his royal majesty" gave place to the ruoro serious reminder that "Young Obadias, David, Jo3ias, all were pious." Tiiere were many later editions of the primer at Boston, Concord, Prov idence, Newburyport, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, extending from 1770 to 1S46, but several of the later re prints have been rather for the satis faction of the curious than for any serious use.
