[p. 195. 2.]

A revised and abridged edition of Bunyan’s “Rhimes” appeared in 1701, under the title: A Book for Boys and Girls; or, Temporal Things Spiritualised.

A ninth edition was published in 1724 under the new title Divine Emblems; or, Temporal Things Spiritualised.

[3.]

A Little Book for Little Children, “wherein are set down in a plain and pleasant Way, Directions for Spelling and other remarkable Matters. Adorned with Cuts. By T. W.” (Thomas White).

London, printed for G. O. and sold at the King in Little Britain.

[p. 196. 1.]

The Child’s Week’s Work; “or, A Little Book so nicely suited to the Genius and Capacity of a little Child, both for Matter and Method, that it will infallibly allure and lead him into a Way of Reading, with all the Ease and Expedition that can be desired.” By William Ronksley. London, printed for G. Conyers and J. Richardson in Little Britain, 1712.

[p. 201. 2.]

R. L. Stevenson quotes this rhyme in the lines “To Minnie” (A Child’s Garden of Verses, pp. 130-1):

“Our phantom voices haunt the air

As we were still at play;

And I can hear them call and say:

‘How far is it to Babylon?’

“Ah far enough, my dear,

Far, far enough from here—

Yet you have farther gone!

‘Can I get there by candlelight?’

“So goes the old refrain.

I do not know—perchance you might—

But only children hear it right,

Ah, never to return again!

“The eternal dawn, beyond a doubt,

Shall break on hill and plain,

And put all stars and candles out,

Ere we be young again.”

[p. 206. 2.]

Few of the themes are original. Two by Adelaide O’Keefe, “The Boys and the Apple Tree” and “The Vine”, are verse readings of stories in The Looking Glass for the Mind. So also is “The Two Gardens” by Ann Taylor.

[p. 208. 1.]

Poetry for Children was praised in the Monthly Review for Jan., 1811, but soon went out of print. The original edition was lost sight of until 1877, when it was sent from Australia “a courteous and most welcome gift from the Hon. William Sandover” to Mr. R. H. Shepherd. (See the Introduction to Mr. Shepherd’s reprint.—Chatto & Windus, 1878.)

In the meantime, twenty-two of the pieces had been preserved in a First Book of Poetry printed by W. F. Mylius, a master at Christ’s Hospital, “For the Use of Schools. Intended as Reading Lessons for the Younger Classes.” This was mentioned in the Monthly Review for April, 1811.

[p. 209. 2.]

The following poems were reprinted in the 1818 edition of Lamb’s Works:—

“To a River in which a Child was Drowned”; “The Three Friends”; “Queen Oriana’s Dream”.

[p. 216. 1.]

Lamb says that Martin Burney read Clarissa in snatches at a book-stall, until discouraged by the stall-keeper. He adds: “A quaint poetess of our day has moralised upon this subject in two very touching but homely stanzas”.

[p. 219. 1.]

(a) The Peacock “At Home.” “A Sequel to the Butterfly’s Ball. Written by a Lady and illustrated with elegant engravings”. Harris, successor to E. Newbery, 1807.

(b) The Lion’s Masquerade. “A Sequel to the Peacock ‘At Home’. Written by a Lady.” London, J. Harris, etc., 1807.

(c) The Elephant’s Ball and Grand Fête-Champêtre: Intended as a Companion to those much admired Pieces, The Butterfly’s Ball and The Peacock “At Home”. By W. B. London, J. Harris, etc., 1807.

Facsimile reprints by Charles Welsh, 1883.

[p. 221. 1.]

(a) The Daisy, “Adapted to the Ideas of Children from four to eight years old”—was illustrated with 30 copperplate engravings.

(b) The Cowslip was announced as “By the Author of that much admired little work entitled The Daisy”. Both were published by Harris, and reprinted with introductions by Charles Welsh in 1885.

(c) Imitations were:—

The Snowdrop; or, Poetry for Henry and Emily’s Library. By a Lady. Harris, 1823 (3rd edition); and The Crocus; or, Useful Hints for Children, “being Original Poems on Popular and Familiar Subjects”. London, R. Harrild, 1816.

[p. 223. 1.]

The Journey of Goody Flitch and her Cow, a variant of Old Mother Hubbard, 1817.

[2.]

Dame Wiggins of Lee and Her Seven Wonderful Cats, “A Humorous Tale. Written Principally by a Lady of Ninety. Embellished with sixteen coloured Engravings. Price one shilling”. London, Dean & Munday, 1823.

The rhyme was reprinted by Ruskin, who admired its strong rhythm.

[3.]

The History of Sixteen Wonderful Old Women, “Illustrated by as many Engravings, exhibiting their principal Eccentricities and Amusements”. London, Harris & Son, 1821.

[4.]

Readings on Poetry. By Richard Lovell Edgeworth and Maria Edgeworth (London, 1816), followed the plan used with the Edgeworth children. No word or phrase is allowed to pass without explanation.

This may have inspired the author of The Young Reviewers; or, the Poems Dissected. London, William Darton, 1821.
