This facsimile of the original 1777 publication was issued in Boston, ca. 1843. For variations between the many different editions of this facsimile, see George Parker Winship's "Notes on a reprint of the New England primer improved, for the year 1777", Cambridge [1922] in which are described 13 editions or issues.
