"Onze hartelyke blydschap by den majestueuse Ingang van het jaar 1808, zegenwenschend vertegenwoordigd, door de gewoone Eerbiedminnende Brand-Ys-Byt-hakkers van de oudberoemde eerstverkooren Koninglyke Residentie-Stad Den Haag (...)."

= In total two parts were published. Huiskamp N81; Ki.la.ki.le. 10 B-D; Coll. Caljé-Van Gulik 287; Lust en Leering p.53-54: "Wat de lees-prentenboekjes betreft, vinden we een fraai voorbeeld in twee uitgaven van G. Ypma te Franeker. (...) Deze kleine-middenstandsmoraal ontbreekt in de twee stukjes van het Nieuw Prenteboekje. Zij beslaan elk slechts één aan weerszijden bedrukt vel met zeven sublieme, uit de hand gekleurde houtgravures en bijpassende tekst in allerlei lettertypen (...). Wie het in handen krijgt, verbaast zich dat van een zo fragiel gebruiksboekje überhaupt nog exemplaren bewaard zijn gebleven." The very nice illustrations showing i.a. a beehive, chickens and children in a goat drawn carriage. Including two duplicates.
