Middelburg, Erven J.C. Altorffer, (ca. 1820). Small 8vo. Wrappers. With woodcut of a classroom on title, and large woodcut of a cock on verso title. (16) pp.

The woodcut of the classroom again is a different variant,  showing the teacher sitting on a chair behind a table,  one pupil standing beside the table, and three other  pupils working  at a table with their backs to the teacher.  The large cock here stands alone. The verse underneath  is a combination of the verses found on the Leyden,  Rotterdam and Zierikzee editions described above.
The  alphabet is printed in 6 different types, with a 2-line  poem underneath printed in still another type, reading:  "Leert, leert, gij jonge jeugd, in dees Uw jonge dagen,  Want in den Ouderdom, zal Weet-niet zich beklagen"  (Learn, learn, you young Youth, in these your young  days, Then, in old age, Know-nothing will feel sorry  for himself). Here again the Ten Commandments are set  to a popular tune. At the end the "Christian A B C ".

Good copy of an unrecorded Middelburg-imprint.
