SKETCHES OF LITTLE BOYS. Containing the well behaved the covetous the dilatory the attentive the inatentive sic the exact and the good little boy.

185232200138vo pp. 33 16 advertisements; hand coloured wood-engraved title frontispiece and four plates; engraved head and tail pieces and initial letters; bound in the publisher's yellow boards printed in red rebacked back cover with a list of 'New Juvenile Works for Presents or Prize Books' rear endpapers with further advertisements lacking front free endpaper gilt edges corners worn and surface rubbed with some old marks. The title was first published in 1839 under the imprint of Dean & Munday but here revised together with new illustrations. The work reinforces through a series of short stories examples of both good and bad behaviour of 'Little Boys'. The author Julia Corner is quite clear that a good boy 'is dutiful kind and affectionate; diligent at school attentive at church and gentle and humane to all living things. He is careful with his books and clothes; and he knows they cost money and that money is not obtained without labour.' Of the less than good boys the examples given are of 'The Inattentive Boy' Frank who is lent by the studious James a jigsaw map of England alas when the puzzle is returned James discovers it has lost the counties of Middlesex and Durham. Likewise 'The Covetous Little Boy' Charles becomes jealous when an Ark toy is given to his younger brothers Tom and George. Charles persuades his younger brothers to part with the Ark for some old toys of his own. A parent on discovering this is rather incredulous and takes time to explain how wrong Charles has been. One feels that Charles was not altogether convinced that the exchange should be rescinded. On balance one would not like to be in the company of such excruciatingly good boys for too long as described here! Julia Corner 1798-1875 also known as Miss Corner was a British children's educational writer who created Miss Corner's Historical Library. Corner was born in London in 1798. Her father John Corner was an engraver. She initially wrote novels which she continued after she became associated with a series of history books. In 1840 she published "The History of Spain and Portugal" and the "History of France". The former was criticised by the Church of England Quarterly Review as an "apologist for the Jesuits" although "Miss Julia Corner's" good intentions and the low price of her books was appreciated. These history books eventually covered many countries and built up into what was known as Miss Corner's Historical Library. 'Corner wrote simple stories for children and books for their instruction as well as history books about the ancient Britons Saxons and Normans. She was published by low cost publishers like Henry George Bohn for whom she created books about India and China in the 1850s. Her books about countries Miss Corner's Historical Library would be illustrated and they would include anecdotes tables of historical events maps different aspects of history and questions were raised that related to the text in the style of Richmal Mangnall… Corner also created revised editions of other writer's books including Anne Rodwell's A Child's First Step to the History of England. Her usually conservative books also included plays for children in Dean & Son's series Little Plays for Little People which she advocated for their educational value' see ODNB. The illustrations are by Benjamin Clayton 1809-1883 an Irish artist and engraver who settled in London and probably produced a tremendous amount of unsigned work for juvenile works prints and advertising material and who is better remembered as the father of the writer Ellen Creathorne Clayton. The illustrations are simple and direct and show the boys on the whole trying to be good rather than bad. OCLC records copies at UCLA and Princeton. Thomas Dean & Son, Threadneedle Street.

Sketches of Little Girls

184032200078vo pp. 64; illustrated with hand-coloured engraved frontispiece and six engravings each depicting one of the little girls in the various stories; lightly dust-soiled and marked in places; in the original green blind-stamped publisher's cloth upper board lettered in gilt spine with some splitting and chippingand lacking an endpaper at the end of the work but overall a good copy.An oft reprinted yet charming work of gSketches of Little Girlsg offering advice through tales of good and bad conduct.In the introduction the author writes 'there was a great talk about a book that has lately made its appearance in the world called "Sketches of Young Ladies" which has become very popular not only in London but had found its way into every little town and village in the United Kingdom. But as it was intended principally for the grown-up young ladies they kept it quite to themselves so that the little misses could only get a peep now and then. Therefore I thought it would be but fair that the little girls should have a book of their own as well as their sisters; and I went home determined to do them justice by dedicating a work to the "Little Ladies of Great Britain and Ireland;" taking my sketches from those who resided in my favourite village; for I am certain that no place affords a greater variety or contains more interesting specimens of the juvenile community than this; and I think it will be found that most little girls resemble one or the other of those I am about to describe' pp. 7-8.The author 'Solomon Lovechild' is often assumed the pseudonym of Miss Julia Corner 1798-1875 who initially wrote novels before venturing into juvenile works and a series of popular history books.Unusually the illustrations are each formed of two wood-engavings; including a decorative frame repeated for all the illustrations; with a girl and her doll scrap album purse sewing box books and scenes of he reading and at her needle; into this is set a separate wood-engraving with a different scene illustrating the stories contained in the work.
