(Children's books) Alderson, Brian & Felix de Marez Oyens BE MERRY AND WISE: ORIGINS OF CHILDREN'S BOOK PUBLISHING IN ENGLAND, 1650-1850
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & The British Library 2006 9 x 12 inches hardcover, dust jacket 320 pages
When was it that someone decided that books might be written and published for child readers? It's fair to say that some kinds of text-alphabets, fables, the Lord's Prayer, may have been seen as fundamental to the process of learning to read from the beginning of book making, but when did children come to be seen as a readership for whom special provision should be made? The child as the audience for books in the English language is the subject of this bibliographical study, which had its origins in an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. From this beginning, Felix de Marez Oyens and Brian Alderson have compiled Be Merry and Wise and shown how certain creative talents, driven by a sense of purpose, or a wish to make some money, attempted to appeal directly to children, and how the publishing industry came to realize that this audience might prove to constitute a profitable market.
In conducting their survey, which is centered upon the books themselves, mostly drawn from the holdings of the Morgan Library, the authors not only plot the chronological development of children's book publishing from almost random beginnings to the diversity of the early Victorian period, they also show how publishers adapted their trade methods to exploit this new market. Sweetness and light did not prevail everywhere, but, even in some of the most forbidding examples presented here, there was a commercial optimism that both merriment and wisdom might be happily combined, within the pages of children's literature. Co-published with the Pierpont Morgan Library, The Bibliographical Society of America, and The British Library.

(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.

Corser, Thomas. COLLECTANEA ANGLO-POETICA: OR, A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF A PORTION OF A COLLECTION OF EARLY ENGLISH POETRY, WITH OCCASIONAL EXTRACTS AND REMARKS BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL...[PARTS I-VI, VIII-XI].
10 volumes. Manchester Printed for the Chetham Society 1860-1883 8vo. [Vol.XI: 4to.] original blind panel-stamped cloth. 208; 209-456; 282; 283-542; 250; 251-472; 209-430; 208; 209-342; 20,343-477 pages [omitting repetitious matter such as membership lists, list of Society publications, series title pages, etc.].
All but Part VII of the eleven-part catalogue of the Corser collection. Thomas Corser (1793-1876) collected mostly English literature of the 16th and 17th centuries. His collection was sold off by Sotheby's from 1868 to 1873, with a later sale in Manchester in 1876; some of his collection was acquired by Henry Huth. Corser began publishing the catalogue of his collection in 1860, through the Chetham Society, and finished 6 parts before his death. The President of the Society, James Crossley (1800-1883), himself the owner of a large library, finished the 7th part (lacking here), and compiled parts 8 to 11. There are 681 entries in these ten parts. With about 15 text illustrations and a portrait engraving of Corser. Part XI contains a general index, a biography of Corser, and a list of prices realized in sales of his library. Bindings are identical except that XI is large paper. Several volumes have bookplates, several others are ex-library. All have internal stamps. Covers generally show moderate wear, particularly the earlier volumes (first two also faded), with occasional bumping. Two backings severely worn at head and tail. Torn erratum slip, hinge splitting in IX. Front edge of front cover of I broken.
