| Catalog Notes | An adaptation of Thomas Day's History of Sandford and Merton. "[I]n order to maintain the identity of the book, it has been thought right to retain the proper names of Sandford, Merton, and Barlow, which form the only exceptions to the rule of using words of one syllable exclusively."--Preface, p. [3]. Cover title: Sanford and Merton. By Lucy Aikin (i.e., "Mary Godolphin"). The earliest publisher's catalogue located that advertises this title was the McLoughlin Brothers' catalogue of toy books (1879). At least three McLoughlin Bros. issues of this text are typographically identical, and have the same plate illustrations. However, the bindings each represent design styles used by McLoughlin Bros. at different times between 1879 and 1899. Issue in hand is bound in color printed boards with a cloth spine (half binding). Upper cover features a picture of a boy pulling the reins of a runaway horse. "75 cent books ... No. 752.--Sandford and Merton--half-bound ... elegant illuminated cover."--Catalogue of McLoughlin Bros. toy books, 1886, p. 19. Text printed in two columns. In printed boards with cloth spine. Plates chromolithographed. "Cloth bound picture books for little children."--publisher's advertisement, lower cover. |
