London (6);Wellington, Salop (1); Gloucester(1): Frederick Westley and A.H. Davis; Hatchards?; Houlston and Son; Hough and Jew, 1827; 1827; 1828; 1828; 1824; 1824; 1828; 1828. Quite a scarce collection of little English chapbooks. For the children’s gardening book, “ROBERT OR THE LITTLE FLORIST” and “EDWARD WALLACE or THE LITTLE ASTRONOMER” we have found no copies in Library Hub, British Library, or Princeton. A copy without wraps, like ours, of THE SUNBEAM was found in World Cat. Stanley’s WONDERFUL MEN OF MODERN TIMES was found at Oxford in Library Hub. The British Library contains an 1827 edition of the second half only of Samuel Maitland’s HOLY WARS. The British Library has the 1828 edition of THE BUNCH OF VIOLETS. WONDERFUL MEN OF MODERN TIMES was found in World Cat’s reference to OCLC 8394367. Many such chapbooks of this period are bound up with others, often making it difficult to track them down. REF: 16958 With a very scarce children’s gardening book and equally scarce children’s astronomy book. Generally, 32mo; 10 x 6.2 cm; 32; 22 (ii); 46 + (ii); 45 + (1); 30; 24; 15, with final page on wrapper recto; 24 + 1 blank. With numerous wood-engraved illustrations and with one fold-out engraved plate.
