A most interesting and quaint old relic is the one from which annexed impression is given, from Dyche's Spelling Book: an exceedingly clean, choice and crisp copy of this book, in the original sheep covers,--a veritable "old shopkeeper," which for nearly a century had escaped its intended destiny in Rusher's varied stores, at length found a resting place in Sir Thomas Bodley's venerable receptacle for bibliographical treasures in the Bodelian, Oxford. The present example--a portion of which was broken away many years ago,--is probably the sole surviving one of the quaint series of cuts, doubtless admired by our great-grand-parents over 100 years ago. The following are curious examples of Fable Cuts, which were used in Dilworth, Cocker, Fisher, and others.
