  Billy Blew-Away's alphabetical, orthographical & philological picture book for learners

  Rare Books

  Child's humorous alphabet book by G.F. Godfrey. Each page is devoted to one letter of the alphabet, with W,X, and Y sharing a page. Each letter is accompanied by words, phrases, and illustrations. An Oct. 7, 1882 review in The Critic (v. 2, no. 46, p. 270) notes that although readers of all ages will be "vastly amused," the book is "unfortunately...marred by a touch of vulgarity."

  Cuneiform tablet; inventory of grain

  Manuscripts

  This is an inventory of grain brought probably to the palace or temple. The first two lines give a brief ledger-like statement of this fact; also the date, what is probably April, at the 25th day, but the year is illegible. All the remaining lines contain the names of persons who bought the grain, each is checked at the beginning with a little sign. The cuneiform is probably from about 1200 B.C.; though there is a possibility that it is considerably later.
