"Between 1852 and 1876 Cook 1807-1876 produced about forty different titles writing the text engraving the numerous woodcut illustrations and after laboriously printing the result proceeded to peddle his pamphlets about the streets in true chapman fashion"Lawrence Jenkins William Cook of Salem Mass.: Preacher Poet Artist and Publisher" in the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society New Series Vol. 34 April 9 1924-October 15 1924. Jenkins notes that Cook had just enough type to set one page at a time. The woodblocks were made from birch or maple wood cut with a jack-knife and touched up with lead pencil as are these. Cook had built a small hand lever press that looked like an old fashioned high-back hand organ. Cook was a truly unique eccentric who eked out a living as a tutor lecturer printer and poet. The text in the present work contains Cook's remarks about education to a local Baptist church and two of his poems that illustrated his main points. William Cook unknown books
