[NY]: Russell Bros. for The Regents of The Deseret University, 1868. Hardcover. Very good. Hardcover. 38pp. Brick cloth backed printed boards. Slightly darkened and rubbed, old tape repair to tears on rear endpaper, else a very good example. Alfred L. Bush finds these readers to be "a curious and interesting aspect of Brigham Young's empire-building-which went so far as to include an attempt at an alphabetic reformation" (qtd. in Streeter). Flake 606; Streeter IV: 2309.
