= Preface: "These books are not only designed to please children but to show manners and customs of the ancient and modern people of Nippon. The fine illustrations afford an important aid in this respect. It is through the eye that the understanding itself is most quickly reached." Emily Bishop Boulton, born in England on June 2, 1855, travelled out to Japan with Bishop Poole, the first English Bishop in the country, and Mrs. Poole, arriving in Osaka in December, 1883. She at once joined Miss Oxlad in the Eisei (Eternal Life) school, nucleus of the Bishop Poole Girls' School, in which also she worked for some years after its opening in 1890.

= Unrecorded Dutch edition, preceding the first edition. Fine children's book aimed at teaching children the beginnings of mathematics (first publ. Stuttg., 1847): the plate illustrated on p.165 of Lust en Leering differs from the plate in our copy (the top illustration is different and the captions below all three image are differently spaced) and our copy is without title-p.

The plates, each consisting of 3 or 2 horizontal strips w. images showing objects that young children could recognize, teach the children to count, to add and subtract, to combine, to name colours and forms etc. Lust en leering p.163-165 (calling for a title-p. and 29 plates), referring to the Arnhem edition and the Groningen edition of two similar works by Bohny: "antiquarisch gesproken witte olifanten.
