ANON. Letter C: Cat. Gold letter with decorative border. Alphabet Cards. London : T. Nelson & Sons, [1858]. Instructions accompanying cards: 'Let the letters all be piled in a confused heap, from which the child may lift them one by one. Let him keep all he can name correctly, and let the teacher take all which he names wrong, till the pile of letters is divided in two heaps, which may be counted. If the child's heap is the largest, that is, if he has named the greatest number right, he has gained the game. If the prize is a sugar-plum or any trifle, it will excite great interest; the child will soon know all the letters, and, instead of its being a lesson, the mother or nurse will find this game a welcome addition to the amusements of the nursery.'.
