181715973New Haven: Sidney Press 1817. First edition. 12 illustrations in color and black and white. VERY RARE. Small 8vo publisher’s original decorated wraps. 31 pp. A well preserved copy some with expected wear. This children’s book is called a chapbook a more modern term that derives from the chapmen. Chapmen were pedlars who hawked their goods in towns and villages and at country fairs. In 1553 Edward VI proclaimed that champmen must be licensed and Chettle in Kind Hart’s Dreame 1592 wrote that “‘Chapmen are able to spred more pamphlets.then all the booksellers in town.’†Although they sold other wares too they always had cheap booklets sometimes ballad sheets which eventually assumed the familiar form af a miniature booklet with a paper cover thatusually had a picture. Even Shakespeare in Henry IV mentioned the chapmen as did Urquhart’s Rabelais in 1653. With the growth of small printers miniature editions of old favourites could be printed. While chapbooks were ostensibly designed to help children learn how to read they often broached adult subjects and were the source of entertainment in families and villages. <br> This edition contains: “George and Adolphus†“The Little Wanderers. A True Story.†“The Little Prisoners†and “The Illnatured Boy.†Sidney Press paperback

Several ownership markings including signatures from John Neely Bryan in each. <p><br /> Historic set of two statute books from the library of the founder of Dallas John Neely Bryan 1810-1877. Bryan left his home state of Tennessee at an early age with law degree in hand first to Arkansas and in 1839-1841 surveying and settling in the area that would later become Dallas. <br /> <br /> The natural features of the landscape the Trinity River being shallow and crossable at the site perhaps drew Bryan to the area but were also a source for disaster shortly after his settling. Stephen R. Butler in his biography John Neely Bryan: The Father of Dallas pg. 46: <br /> "In 1842. A Trinity River flood damaged the so-called 'Gilbert-Bryan cabin.' John Neely Bryan Jr. described this event: 'Shortly after this first cabin was completed my father went back to Colbert's Ferry for a supply of corn. he found that a rise of the river had occurred during his absence. damaging his books and destroying many of his papers. he had brought with him numerous valuable books and papers pertaining to his profession.'" <br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p>These volumes were later rebound and owned by Maurice Eugene Locke who established a practice in the city in 1891 and built one of the great law libraries of the West. The stamp of a "John B. Seymour" is also present in each perhaps owning the books between Bryan and Locke. We find no record of John Neely Bryan's signature at auction. This wonderful piece of Dallas history also presents a rare case where water damage adds to rather than detracts from the appeal. </p> . Wells and Lilly; P. H. Nicklin and T.
