Exeter Working Papers in Book History: Exeter Library. Early children's books.

Exeter Library. Early children's books. Test listing.

Note: This listing is generated from an Excel spreadsheet which is in the course of development prior to the implementation of an on-line catalogue to cover all the heritage collections in Exeter Library. There are currently separate listings in a range of formats for the different collections. The children's book collection was gathered over time from a variety of sources. Titles originating prior to 1850 were catalogued by Marjorie Moon and this listing includes records derived from that catalogue together with most of her annotations. It also includes items from a variety of other listings which require much editing, the removal of duplicates and checking against stock to add more detail to many records. The catalogue is arranged by author or title for anonymous works, but it is possible to use the "Find" function to search by keyword for authors, titles, or publishers.

Moon 477 ; ESTC T127919. - Marbled paper covers. Lacks title=page, heading to A2: Lessons for children, from three to four years old. Osborne I, 108, 1794 edition. In her advertisement to the first part (see no.478) the author says:- This little publication was made for a particular child, but the public is welcome to the use of it. It was found, that amidst the multitude of books professedly written for children, there is not one adpted to the comprehension of a child from two to three years old. A grave remark, or a connected story, however simple, is above his capacity; and nonsense is always below it; for folly is worse than Ignorance. Another great great defect is the want of good paper, a clear and large type, and large spaces. They only, who have actually taught young children, can be sensible how necessary these assistances are. The eye of a child and of a learner cannot catch, as ours can, a small, obscure, ill-formed word, amidst a number of others all equally unknown to him.- To supply these deficiencies is the object of this book. The task is humble, but not mean; for to lay the first stone of a noble building, and to plant the first idea in a human mind can be no dishonour to any hand. -

Only two copperplates present, date 6 Month 29, 1824. Marbled boards, roan spine. Osborne II, 869. First published in 1808. Preface to 1st edition dated July 1, 1808, followed by author's foreword to 4th edition dated October 15, 1823. In the preface the author assures the reader 'that he will not ... find a single material fact related [of some importance to natural history or philosophy], which is not strictly true.' This popular story is about two young men, Harry, heir to an ample estate, who thought learning `only fit for poor men, who earned their bread by teaching, or by writing books for the amusement of idle gentlemen'; and Dick, a cowherd's son from the same estate, who learnt to read and write and `before he was ten years old, he had ... copied out, in a fair hand, the entire history of Joseph and his brethren from the Bible, and that of Whittington and his cat from a little penny book which his father had purchased for him at a fair.' Both families emigrated to America, both boys were orphaned, and now Harry's ignorance made him unfit for any clerical work, and he became a barber, while Dick flourished, married his employer's daughter, became a member of Congress, and was shaved by Dick, whom he did not recognise, `so pale, so wan, so meagre was he grown'.

Edgeworth, Maria, 1768-1849. [The parent's assistant.] Old Poz, The mimic, Mademoiselle Panache, being the fourth volume of The Parent's Assistant, or Stories for children. By Maria Edge-worth, author of Practical Education, and Letters for Literary Ladies. The third edition, with additions. - 3rd edition with additions London : Printed for J.

No complete copy of the 1st edition of The parent's assistant, 1796, seems to have survived. Osborne II, 880 and I, 249. The unencouraging title, which Maria herself disliked, gives no hint of the great variety of delightful stories which the six volumes of this work contain. They embody the educational methods reflecting Rousseau's teaching, later described by Maria and her father in Practical education (1798), but are by no means overtly didactic.

[3]-4). Text woodcuts. Marbled boards, roan spine. Garry Owen was first published in The Christmas box, 1829. Gerald, the son of well-to-do parents, helps to rescue a woman and her children whose cottage has been buried in deep snow. He is so shocked by the contrast between their abject poverty and misery and the comforts of his own home that he renounces a gift of a much-longed-for pony (Garry Owen), so that the money may be used instead to rent a decent cottage for them and to set up the woman in a little shop. The author wittily describes the scene when the pony is brought to Gerald's home and his struggle to keep to his decision in spite of the blandishments of the Irish horse-dealer. The second story is a pathetic recital by a little sweep of the hardship and cruelty he has suffered.

[ 1783?]. - 88p. : ill ; 8⁰. - Moon 039 ; ESTC T73094. - Woodcut frontispiece and woodcut headpieces to 17 fables. Marbled boards, leather spine. Postscript dated May 21, 1783. This would appear to be a different edition of one volume of the two listed by Osborne in vol.II, p.566. Mrs. Teachwell = Ellenor Fenn. Lady Fenn, wife of the antiquary, Sir John Fenn, was a prolific writer of books for the young. She was keenly interested in arousing little children's enthusiasm for reading, and her book of fables was well designed to this end, with its attractive layout, large, clear type and wide spaces between the lines (no doubt John Marshall was following the advice of Mrs. Barbauld, given in the Advertisement to her Lessons for children, q.v.) The woodcuts are delightful, and the stories are told simply and amusingly.

Price bound eighteen pence., [ 1781]. - x,146p. ; 12⁰. - Moon 213 ; ESTC T65971. - Calf binding. The author of ’David Simple’ = Sarah Fielding. First published in 1749. Osborne I, 254. In the Guardian of Education, vol.I, Mrs. Trimmer wrote that 'the desire is irresistible of speaking a word or two in praise of an old acquaintance which certainly deserves a better fate, than to be shoved aside to make way for Books of inferior merit now standing forth in proud array, blazing in scarlet, purple, and gold, to tempt the curiosity of childhood and youth - too frequently to the injury of their principles and morals! - Nothing of this sort is to be apprehended, from the engaging history of Mrs. Teachum's nine young ladies; on the contrary, much good is to be learned; and we cannot but wish that this little volume, which had for its author one of the best female scholars England has produced, may be estimated according to its real merit, as long as the world lasts; for when such Works as this cease to be admired and approved, we may regard it as a certain sign, that good morals and simplicity of manners, are banished from the system of English Education, to make room for false Philosophy and artificial refinement.

This nonsensical farrago was composed by an 18th-century dramatist to test the memory of the actor Charles Macklin. I do not know whether there was an earlier edition than Caldecott's made specially for children, but they had been able to enjoy ridiculous trivia of the same sort since the early 19th century. In 1813 Harris published Peter Piper's practical principles of plain and perfect pronunciation and a few years later R. Stennett composed (and illustrated?) Aldiborontiphoskyphorniostikos (A.K. Newman and Dean & Munday). It is nice to know that such sillinesses were allowed in those serious times. (There are no copies of the last two titles in this collection.)

Mrs. Trimmer, while giving qualified approval to Goody Two Shoes in the Guardian of Education (vol.I), seems to have been afraid that this apparently harmless little book might have a politically subversive influence. She wrote: 'This Book is a great favourite with us on account of the simplicity of style in which it is written, yet we could wish some parts to be altered, or omitted... In these times, when such pains are taken to prejudice the poor against the higher orders, and to set them against parish officers, we could wish to have a veil thrown over the faults of oppressive 'squires and hard-hearted overseers... We have also a very great objection to the Story of Lady Ducklington's Ghost... and if nothing had been introduced about witchcraft, the Book would in our opinion have been more complete. However, with all its fault, we wish to see this Book continue in circulation, as some of these faults a pair of scissors can rectify, and the ill effect of others may be remedied by proper explanation from the parent.'

Three page book-list beginning on verso of p.177. Calf binding. First published in 1793. Osborne I, 123, 1796. The eight letters to Charlotte are about good temper, conduct and conversation, forbearance, chastity, truth, employment of time (a pencil note heads this letter: 'Read this with attention & often'), amusements and religion. The author particularly warns Charlotte `against the most pernicious reading in the world, against novels ... they poison the mind, they soften and pervert the understanding... Miss Burney's are the only writings of that kind you may peruse with safety, and which, indeed, I recommend to you.' It is strange to read these strictures in a book published by a firm renowned for its fiction. See also no. 488, a book which, although 'designed for the use of young ladies', would seem to be just as useful to young gentlemen.

In the preface Mrs. Hack acknowledges that she has used as a basis for this book William Paley's Natural theology (1802), which sets out to prove the existence of God through natural phenomena. She also quotes, on the opposite page, from Mrs. Hamilton's Letters on education: 'May not the eagerness of infantine curiosity be directed to a First Cause, powerful, wise, and good, and, through the works of Nature, be made to lead to Nature's God?' In Harry Beaufoy Mrs. Hack shows two parents who were constantly encouraging their son to find the natural causes of everyday occurrences. 'Your mother...' explained the father 'wished to convince you, by the evidence of your senses, that there is an intelligent Creator.' See Appendix 2.

Let the actions, and enjoyments, and sufferings of men, form the subjects of the contemplation of children ... the actors as well as the events must be real.'

The 'genius', Mrs. Albany, a widow and an erratic, enthusiastic amateur of architecture, spent her fortune on rebuilding a house. She went to France to improve her education so as to be able to support herself and her daughter who had been left in England, and was taken prisoner by the French. Years later she returned to England and to her child and opened a girls' school. Her lack of method almost caused their ruin but her earnest, hard-working daughter made the school a success until Mrs. Albany made a sudden dash to the continent to visit an old friend; she had disastrous adventures and was captured by bandits from whom she escaped in disguise. She returned to England again, by now sadder and wiser. An unexpected inheritance and rich marriage for the daughter ensured a happy ending.

Frances seized a knotted stick, and defended herself with equal courage and calmness, and would have saved her life, had she thought only of herself; but seeing her brother in danger, she seized him by the middle, and tossed him into a closet! The furious wolf sprung at her throat and suffocated her in an instant!' Reviewing this book in vol.I of the Guardian of Education, Mrs. Trimmer exclaims 'We trust that the Parents of this country in general will not wish their daughters to imitate the example of this heroine' and then adds, 'Nor is her story probable'.

The object of this book is to teach its readers that a sparrow can feel. The author's dedication is to Miss Lucy Mara, dated June 29 1798.

'Though it was handled in a masterly and convincing manner, the style was far superior to the weak and puerile ideas of children'. So she wrote the present work to suit their comprehensions.

After a miserable night he was disillusioned; then, to his dismay, he met a negro who, instead of being a docile Man Friday, pretended to be a cannibal, and Henry was only too glad when the unknown uncle, whom, only the day before, he had dreaded meeting, arrived in a boat to rescue him. The negro was the uncle's servant, and they had staged this scene to make Henry appreciate his home comforts.

Boards, being floral design embossed on pale green ground. A brief summary of this story might read as follows: Richard Small (little Dick) was bad from his infancy. By the age of eleven he was a drinker and gambler; he became an embezzler, was involved in murder and ended up by being drowned. The ill-starred career of this unfortunate child might more charitably, and accurately, be accounted for if the reader appreciates that 'His parents were very good sort of people' but too busy to look after him, so they put him out to nurse to a woman who cared for several children. He made a nuisance of himself, most probably in order to attract the attention he longed for, and she recommended he be sent to school. His parents sent for him, and as soon as he reached home they took him off to school. On his first morning he was flogged for not getting up in time; the other boys tormented him and he fought and beat one of them. One day he had bad toothache and the schoolmistress gave him a glass of brandy, which gave him a taste for liquor 'and he went often to a publick-house in the neighbourhood.' He went from bad to worse, but was he alone to blame?

Martin, Sarah Catherine. The comic adventures of old mother Hubbard and her dog. - London : Publish’d June 1 1805 by Harris, Successer [sic] to E. Newbery, Corner of St. Pauls Church Yard, 1805. - 11.1 x 9.2 cm. - Moon 129. - 14 engraved leaves (of 16) printedon one side only. The illustrated titlepage is on verso of 1st leaf facing dedication on recto of 2nd. Each leaf has engraved text and, except for the dedication, a hand-coloured illustration. Lacks original covers. Moon (Harris) 559. Osborne II, 683 (3rd state), ODNR no.365. This copy appears to be the first state of the first edition of the famous nursery rhyme. The little book was written and illustrated by Sarah Catherine Martin in the house of her brother-in-law, John Pollexfen Bastard, MP, of Kitley, Devon, and this imperfect copy may perhaps be the only example in England of the earliest printing. The book came as a vision of delight to a generation of children brought up on moral tales and facts and, since that felicitous 1st of June 1805 to the present day, the verses have never been out of print. When it first appeared the demand was so great that it was frequently reprinted from the same plates, with slight alterations which are taken to belong to three different states of the first edition. In the first state the dedication is signed, incorrectly, ‘S M C’ and the Hosier’s plate shows a chair, apparently floating on the old lady’s hand. The coffin in the Undertaker’s plate is signed ‘SCM 1804’. These features are all present in this copy. In the second state the coffin is inscribed ‘S M C’ (the engraver must have altered the writing on the coffin to agree with the incorrect dedication). In the third state, among other changes, the chair in the Hosier’s plate has disappeared and a picture hangs on the wall; the coffin still bears the initial ‘S M C’. The portrait in the Baker’s plate is different in each of the states.

The description ... of a great pestilence has been borrowed chiefly from De Foe's "History of the Plague"'. The preface goes on to say that 'The scene of the tale has been laid in the East, so that the frequent mention of names sacred among Englishmen might be avoided in - what perhaps some might still look upon as - a mere story-book.'

Sheep. In his preface, dated Oct. 25 1810, the compiler claims to 'have ranged for my purpose through the whole parterre of British poets, and culled from each the fragrance that was yet untasted.- By far the greater part of the Reading Lessons contained in this little work have never before appeared in any book intended for the Use of Schools:- they frequently present lively and interesting pictures to the fancy of young persons, and their subjects are always favourable to the growth of those virtues which are the pro-fessed object of every plan of education.' This is an important anthology for children, containing a delightful assortment of poems of all kinds - serious, gay, moral and lyrical: 'Cheerful thoughts on gooseberry pie' (anon.); 'Come live with me...' (Marlowe); 'The life of a fairy' (Percy's ballads); 'Going into breeches' and others by Mary and Charles Lamb (these poems by the Lambs were included in their Poetry for children (1809), a small edition which soon disappeared, and Mylius must be credited with being their main preserver); 'The blind boy' (Cibber); some of Gay's fables and Ben Jonson's 'Hymn to Diana'; and poems by Mrs. Barbauld, Oliver Goldsmith, Charlotte Smith and Hannah More. It is an enlightened contribution to the teaching of English literature. Osborne II, 653.

The lessons are arranged in suitable length for daily use. The compiler, in his preface, hopes that, by reading poetry aloud in school, 'the idea' will be 'suggested to both instructor and pupil, of an appropriate and animated delivery. In this way it is to be hoped that young persons may acquire a graceful and interesting utterance, without any danger of their being made spouters and declaimers.' As in no.102 the anthology is varied, interesting and suited to the young people for whom it is intended.

Red cloth. First published in 1844 under the pseudonym of ‘William Churne, of Staffordshire,’ Osborne II, 920. In the Preface (to the 2nd edition), signed ‘Frances E. Pager, Elford Rectory, September MDCCCXLVI’ the author claims to have made ‘An attempt, under the guise of a fairy-tale to lead young minds to a more wholesome train of thought than is commonly found at the present day in popular juvenile literature. The author’s aim was to excite the sympathies of the young on behalf of others, and to set before them in its true colours the hideous sin of selfishness to ascertain whether a race that has been gutted with Peter Parley, and Penny Magazines, and such like stories of (so called) useful knowledge, would condescend to read a fable and its moral, and learn wisdom from a tale of enchantment.’ The author’s earlier pseudonym, noted above, is taken from a poem by Richard Corbet, ‘The fairies Farewell; or, God-Mercy Will’, 1647, lamenting the disappearance of the fairies, whose only remaining evidence is preserved in the noddle of William Churne of Staffordshire.

The pseudonym 'Peter Parley' was originally used by an American author, Samuel Griswold Goodrich (1793-1860), who wrote a great many very successful books for children, usually of the informative kind. At least six English authors borrowed his pseudonym, often editing, or adapting, the original Parley books, or writing entirely new works under this name. The known English Parleys are William Martin (1801-67); George Mogridge (1787-1854), who also used many other pseudonyms; Thomas Tegg (1776-1845); Charles Tilt (1797-1861); Edward Lacey; and Samuel Clark (1810-1875). The last four were all publishers, Clark being a partner in the firm of Darton & Clark. For fuller information see Children's books in England by F.J. Harvey Darton.

There does not seem to be any evidence to connect her with Elizabeth Sandham. A fuller discussion of this matter (including an attribution to "Mrs. Fordyce") will be found in John Harris's books for youth 1801-1843 by Marjorie Moon, p.48-49. See also Osborne II, 929.

After being arrested, whipped to make her confess, and then convicted on false evidence, she and her father are exiled. After many hardhips she is sought out and found by the owner of the ring, who tells her she has been proved innocent because the ring has been found in a magpie's nest. The maid who gave false evidence is sentenced and Mary marries the son of the judge who convicted her.

Rebound. Catherine Sinclair tells in the preface of her surprise at finding that so many Sunday books for children 'had frontispieces to represent a death-bed surrounded by the clergyman, the phsysician, and the afflicted relatives of a dying Christian.' She therefore set out to write a story that would show how all the various occupations of children 'may be done to the glory of God,' and yet 'with the most perfect cheerfulness.' The book is about a little boy who, his parents being abroad, is sent to live with two aunts, one pious, the other frivolous, and he has to choose which one he wishes to live with permanently. One woos him with sweets and treats, the other with Bible stories and lectures. Of course he chooses the latter. As a complete contrast, Miss Sinclair's Holiday House was first published in 1839. It was one of the first books to show healthily mischievous children in an amusing light; their governess, Mrs. Crabtree, whips them nearly every morning, but their spirits are not crushed and they are perpetually in trouble. The lively illustrations of the 1st edition add to the ent-ertainment of the stories.

In her book the author discusses in simple language and very superficially a great number of familiar and exotic phenomena. As an example: I am going to tell you a very surprising thing, Charlotte. I dare say you think the sun goes round the earth. It does not, I assure you; it is fixed, and the world goes round it once in a year. Before they discovered how large the sun is people thought as you do... No, I think indeed, if the earth wants so much assistance from the sun, it is very well worth while to travel for it; and thus the matter really is ordered.

Orange paper covers, upper lacking, book-list on recto of lower.

The verses are partly written in the style of limericks. The pretty illustrations are full of interesting details - a linen weaver and a linen shop, a cider press, a butcher's shop, a haberdasher's shop. Unfortunately, this is a very dilapidated copy.
