School Reader has Updated Description of Bat and Ball

Text

Sanders, Charles W., The School Reader; First Book [Newbergh, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, assorted pub'rs], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 215. Another Sanders reader (see entries above for 1840, 1841, 1846), this one with an illustration titled "Boys Playing at Bat and Ball" and having a full-page treatment of the game with new text. Note: Was there any text in the earlier versions? How does the game described compare to rounders, town ball, and the decade-old NY game?
