Children's primer

So I bought this book because I thought it was a 70s macrame book, I figured it would be a little outdated potentially but that I could still get some useful info. Turns out its actually a reprint of an 1890s Childrens primer, it looks like it was written for teachers in the 1800s and intended for classroom settings. The names of the knots and patterns vary from current day as well. Its a fascinating bit of history but not necessarily a good book for beginners or people looking for easy to follow patterns.
