She worked with her brother's newborn Ruth to develop a scientific consideration of infant development. "Her dissertation Notes on the Development of a Child was published in 3 installments between 1893 and 1899. In 1900 she also published a popular version of her findings called The Biography of a Baby. Her works received widespread acclaim and for years her Notes was considered the foundational text for developmental psychology classes.

1893174802New York: Printed at the De Vinne Press for the Committee 1893. The flowering of American Arts and Crafts sensibilities First Updike edition deluxe limited issue one of 500 large copies on handmade paper. Planned by the distinguished printer Daniel Berkeley Updike 1860-1941 this issue features pages framed with garlands of various plants each appropriate to the text it adorns. The deluxe binding is similarly gilt with thistles and Tudor roses alluding to the British origins of the Episcopal church. Updike's rationale for the decoration is elucidated in the loosely inserted pamphlet which accompanies this copy. While his initial intention was to emulate medieval devotional volumes he was limited by the typography common to the entire first edition which would not allow for the introduction of ornate initials. Since the borders could not be illuminated it was decided that the simple monochrome patterns must be elevated by the use of symbolism. This would be botanical befitting the style of the Middle Ages. Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue an architect who often lent his skills to publishing created the designs for the binding and the borders. Although Updike's Merrymount Press was also founded in 1893 they were not prepared for the printing of The Book of Common Prayer and the presswork went to Theodore Low De Vinne 1828-1914 one of the founders of the Grolier Club. While Updike subsequently moved away from Kelmscott-inspired printing this early project is part of his cultivation of Arts and Crafts book production in late 19th-century America. Folio. Elaborate foliate borders throughout text printed in red and black. Original vellum spine and front cover lettered in gilt Gothic script and elaborately decorated with gilt foliate design with Tudor roses and Scottish thistle cornerpieces twin metal clasps endpapers patterned with gilt rose and thistle design top edge gilt fore and bottom edges uncut white bookmarker. Near-contemporary bookplate recording the volume as part of J. William Smith's bequest to Syracuse Public Library. Gilt bright vellum a little soiled small puncture to foot of front board a couple of minor bumps to extremities contents clean. A very good copy. Griffiths 1893/7. hardcover
