[Illustration: Title page art]



PHILADELPHIA:

Willard Johnson, No. 141, South Street

1836.




PREFACE.

Peter Piper, without Pretension to Precocity or Profoundness, Puts Pen
to Paper to Produce these Puzzling Pages, Purposely to Please the
Palates of Pretty Prattling Playfellows, Proudly Presuming that with
Proper Penetration it will Probably, and Perhaps Positively, Prove a
Peculiarly Pleasant and Profitable Path to Proper, Plain and Precise
Pronunciation.

He Prays Parents to Purchase this Playful Performance, Partly to Pay
him for his Patience and Pains; Partly to Provide for the Printers and
Publishers
