Like many such periodicals it gained most of its news and information from British magazines. The majority of its contents were reviews poetry literary and scientific news biographical sketches of authors lists of new publications and articles on literature almost exclusively British. "The plates which came to be a prized feature of the magazine began in 1827 but were not published regularly until 1830; they added much to the attractiveness of the periodical" - Mott.

Original publisher's purple flexible cloth-covered card-stock covers with gilt stamped lettering to front cover. Lacks rear cover. Spine cloth worn away in upper half. Mid-20th C pos with occasional annotation to text. A Good copy. 4 95 1 blank pp. Frontis. 5 inserted plates. 12mo. 6-3/8" x 4-1/8" "The original Melrose was Mailros meaning "the bare peninsula" in Old Welsh or Brythonic. This referred to a neck of land by the River Tweed several miles east of the present town where in the 6th century a monastery was founded associated with St Cuthbert. It was recorded by Bede and also in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with the name Magilros. This monastery and settlement later known as 'Old Melrose' were long abandoned by the 12th century. King David I of Scotland took the throne in 1124 and sought to create a new Cistercian monastery on that site; however the monks preferred a site further west called "Fordel". So the monastery now known as Melrose Abbey was founded there in 1136 and the town of Melrose grew up on its present site around it. In the late Middle Ages its name was represented by a mell a mason's hammer and a rose for the Virgin Mary to whom all Cistercian abbeys were dedicated. The Abbey fell into ruin after the Reformation but is still a striking structure. Several Scottish nobles are buried there and a casket has been found which is believed to contain the heart of King Robert the Bruce. The casket has been re-buried in the Abbey. The Abbey ruins are cared for by Historic Scotland. Nearby is the Roman fort of Trimontium Abbotsford House the home of Sir Walter Scott and Dryburgh Abbey where he's buried. Melrose is surrounded by the small villages of Darnick Gattonside Newstead Lilliesleaf and Bowden." Wiki Misses S. & C. Cameron / W. P. Nimmo, St. James Square hardcover books

The book was expanded from Holt's Catechism for Nurses 1893 a pamphlet prepared for nursery-maids during their four months training at the Babies Hospital. "The nurses studied the catechism and when they graduated took it with them. There followed requests for copies from their employers and the supply was soon exhausted. It was apparent there was a popular demand for something of the kind. The catechism was expanded and in 1894 The Care and Feeding of Children made its appearance.Probably no one would have been more surprised than Dr. Holt or his publishers had they been told that they were launching a volume that was to go through seventy-five printings and which was to be translated into Spanish Russian and Chinese.The book became the mainstay of many a worried mother and exerted no inconsiderable influence on the profession as well for the practitioners had to keep abreast of the pediatric knowledge which the mothers possessed" DUFFUS R.L.
