Favourites of a Nursery of Seventy Years Ago: And Some Others of Later Date (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Favourites of a Nursery of Seventy Years Ago: And Some Others of Later Date
This collection of nursery rhymes and ballads has been selected to preserve for the children of this century the quaint little stories and verses which were popular about a hundred years ago, and in a later years of the nineteenth century. Most of these are now out of print, and were taken from the following sources: Old copies of Rhymes for the Nursery, Original Poems and Hymns for Infant Minds, written by Jane Taylor and her sisters, Ann and Adelaide; also from The Daisy, or Cautionary Stories in Verse, and the Cowship, published in London in 1811. From these books a selection, including many of the Taylors' nursery rhymes, called Rhymes for the Nursery, published in Boston about 1840, was compiled, possibly by Mrs. Nancy Sproat, who added a few of her own shorter stories. She wrote many little books of dialogues in verse, in which "The Blackberry Girl" first appeared. Besides these are many from Mrs. Follen's Little Songs, and the pretty country ballads of the Swedenborgian lady, Mrs. Ann Augusta (Gray) Carter, whose Juvenile Ballads have been out of print since 1850.
