Jack and Jill.

Jack and Jill Went up the hill. Then up Jack got, And home did trot. Then Jill came in, And she did grin.
They rode dog Ball, And Jill did fall. Says Jill, I’ll tell You how Jack fell. I’ll try, says Jack, Upon his back.
Now Jill did laugh, And Jack did cry. They first rode high, And then rode low. The very next thing They made a swing.
Camel came by. Says Jack, I’ll try. The pig he squalled, While Jack he bawled. Hearing the rout, The dame came out.
Read it who will, They’ll laugh they fill.

The Cries of York.

“The Cries of York, for the amusement of Young Children, decorated with cuts printed by T. Kendrew, Collier Gate, York.” These York Cries have not been mentioned by any writer on juvenile literature and the same may be said of the Banbury Cries. T. Kendrew of York, brought out many interesting penny and other children’s books. He published “Giles Gingerbread, a little boy who lived upon learning, by Tom Trip,” this was an abbreviation of Newberry’s Edition of the “Silver Penny.” The series was illustrated with the early and prentice work of the Bewick School. One of the rarest is “The Cries of York,” the cuts of which afterwards travelled to Banbury and appeared in “Banbury Cries.” The series we are enabled to give complete.
