Leipzig Centralverein (etc.) 1893 small 4to. sewn, stiff paper wrappers. viii, 55 pages.
Funding problems in 1893: Our Museum of the German Book Industry (which is not just some local Leipzig concern!) is such a success that it has outgrown its support, despite assistance from the government of Saxony, the Börsenverein der dt. Buchhändler, et al. Please a)join our organization, b)send money, or c)donate "suitable objects" for the Museum. A brief sketch of the history of books in manuscript and print to 1800 follows, with references to the museum collection and hints for would-be donors. This is followed by a section on the graphic arts in the current (i.e. 19th) century, and a list of donors. Covers soiled, chipped, detached. The binding is failing and the book is dissociating into individual gatherings.

See More... (Children's Books) Moon, Marjorie BENJAMIN TABART'S JUVENILE LIBRARY, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN PUBLISHED, WRITTEN, EDITED AND SOLD BY MR. TABART, 1801-1820.
Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1990 8vo. cloth. xvii, 180 pages.
First edition. In the early nineteenth century the prevailing influence in children's books was the promotion of morality, coupled with instruction, and fairy-tales and such-like improper subjects were widely discouraged. So Benjamin Tabart showed no little courage when, within three years of opening his Juvenile Library in Bond Street, he launched out into the publication of a series of well-produced fairy-tales and nursery stories.

During his short publishing career, he continued to provide children's bookshelves with light-hearted, attractive-looking books for which he employed excellent artists and some of the best children's writers of the day. Many of his publications are now very scarce, but Marjorie Moon has recorded about a hundred and ninety titles (often in several editions), which have survived the hazards of nursery life. Since Mr. Tabert was not only a publisher but also a bookseller, part two of this bibliography includes other titles which he advertized as being on sale in his shop.

An introduction discussing Tabart's publishing career, his family life, and the very close connection between Tabart and the prolific publisher, Sir Richard Phillips, is included. Brian Alderson has contributed an appendix on the illustrating of two of Tabart's picture-books, and another appendix reprints William Goodwin's remarkable preface to his book of Bible stories which so horrified Mrs. Trimmer, the self-appointed critic of Georgian children's reading matter.
