The moral tone is plain. "She is kind to the old blind man." The exercises are still suitable, and perhaps more helpful than some contemporary alternatives. Much is left to the teacher. Explanations given in the text are enough to get started teaching a child to read and write. Counting in Roman numerals is included as a bonus in the form of lesson n u m b e r s . There is no text version because much of the material uses specialized characters that have no ASCI equivalent. Wherever possible the "ASCI" text has been converted. The "non-ASCI" text remains as images.The "non-ASCI" text is approximated in text boxes to right of the image, as are script images. The form of contractions includes a space. The contemporary word "don't" was rendered as "do n't".
