2014 Reprint of 1887 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is
an exact reprint of the 1777 edition printed at Boston by Edward
Draper. The first edition of the primer was printed as early as
1690 but no known copy exists before 1761. The New England Primer
was the first reading primer designed for the American Colonies. It
became the most successful educational textbook published in 18th
century America and it became the foundation of most schooling
before the 1790s. In the 17th century, the schoolbooks in use had
been brought over from England. By 1690, Boston publishers were
reprinting the English Protestant Tutor under the title of The New
England Primer. The Primer included additional material that made
it widely popular with colonial schools until it was supplanted by
Noah Webster's Blue Back Speller after 1790.
