Uncontrolled note

This edition not in Alston. Does the additional titlepage belong? It calls for the spelling book (part 1); the L copy has part 2 only. It is possible that buyers could purchase either part separately or together, using the appropriate titlepage. Cf. t223073 for a later editio of 'A new French spelling-book, in tables from one to eight syllables' - Await further reports (if any) to verify
