Small quarto. (6)ff. The bulk of the book is devoted to paper toy soldiers, among them infantrymen, cavalrymen on horseback, cannons, and a drummer, all in the 19th-century uniforms of the British army. All are set on perforated pages, on each of which is printed the directive to cut each figure out and paste it on a block of wood. Prefaced by an instructive verse, and concluded by a more prosaic set of directions, which are themselves followed by a list of the other books in the series. Staple-bound in pictorial wrappers. Some edgewear, especially to spine, light dampstain at lower gutter of final spread, else near fine and quite rare, with no institutional copies recorded.
