Illustrated with a frontispiece, a title page vignette and a wood engraving illustrating each of the 12 verses of the poem plus 3 wood engraved vignettes illustrating the poetry at the end of the book. The frontispiece differs from that in the American Antiquarian Society collection. It is pasted to the verso of the front wrapper and pictures 5 boys playing with a hobby horse.

The edges of the pages are creased & chipped with some occasional damp staining. There is bleed through on the title page from the early owner's name penned on the verso. RARE. A slightly more common edition of the book was published in Sandbornton, NH in 1836. The text of this famous poem was originally published in Ann and Jane Taylor's first book, "Original Poems, for Infant Minds" (1804). According to G. Edward Harris in his "Contributions Towards a Bibliography of the Taylors of Ongar and Stanford Rivers" (Archon Books, 1965) Mrs. Gilbert "brought out a revised edition with many alterations" in 1854. Notably, this earlier edition of the book at hand is also revised. The changes are as follows: In verse 2: "Who was it sung sweet hushaby" becomes "Who was it sung sweet lullaby". In verse 5: "Who drest my doll in clothes so gay" becomes "Who lov'd to see me pleased and gay". In the second line "pretty" is replaced by "sweetly". Verse 6 is completely omitted and replaced with new text as verse 11. In verse 7: "Who taught my infant lips to pray" becomes "Who early taught my heart to pray". In the second line "And love" is replaced by "To love". In verse 8: In the last line "I hope I shall reward" becomes "I shall, I hope reward". In verse 9: In the second line "healthy arm" becomes "stronger arm". The third line "And I will soothe thy pains away" becomes "And strive to soothe thy pain away." Verse 11 is completely new: "And when at church I say my prayers, I think upon thy fostering cares, from youth unto maturer years, My Mother." The dating derives from Harry B. Weiss in his article "Solomon King, Early New York Bookseller and Publisher of Children's Books and Chapbooks", [Bulletin of the New York Public Library, September 1947]. According to Weiss, Solomon King (1791-1832) moved his business "during 1829 and 1830 [to] 148 Fulton Street where he remained until 1832 when he moved again to 147 Fulton Street". He died September 14, 1832, aged 41, during an epidemic of Asiatic cholera. The front wrapper bears the 148 Fulton Street address and there does not appear to be any record of his publishing at the 142 Fulton Street address on the title page, Weiss also comments on the rarity of King's publications. In his last advertisement, King "mentioned '400 kinds' of books. Of this number, less than half are listed in the accompanying preliminary check list. Of the 187 titles in the list only 28 represent books actually located in libraries. The remainder represent titles advertised on the cover pages of King's publications." "Relatively few of his titles appear to be extant at present, in comparison with those of [Samuel] Wood and [Mahlon] Day, and this may be due to the comparative smallness of the original editions." The text on the rear wrapper reads: "An extensive and elegant variety of juvenile books, published by S. King, 148 Fulton-Street, N. York. VIZ At thirty-seven and a half cents (100 different sorts.) . At eighteen and three-quarters cents . At twelve and a half cents . At six and a quarter cents . Three cent, Two-cent and one-cent books .S. King has likewise for sale, an extensive list of Pamphlets at Twelve and a half Cents each. Also an assortment of fifty different Christmas pieces, at twenty-five cents each.".…

London: Darton Harvey and Darton Gracechurch Street, 1828. Small 8vo, 79 pp., with an engraved title-page and 87 numbered engraved plates three to a page. Original dark green cloth,gilt stamp on upper cover, backstrip titled in gilt, a little worn, some foxing and spotting in the margins of the plates and text, generally a good copy of a very scarce book. Early ink and pencil signatures of Amelia Nutter, Wellington Road, 1842. § First written in 1801 by William Darton, the text was revised by the Taylor sisters in 1806 with illustrations drawn and engraved by Isaac Taylor, reprinted in 1814. Blake's poem "Holy Thursday" appears for the first time on pp. 67-68 in the 1818 printing (with the first two lines changed and without any attribution to Blake), which was enlarged and reissued in 1828 retaining Blake's poem at p.69. Although Ann Taylor is best remembered for her hugely popular poem "My Mother," she and her sister Jane were not above printing other poets' poems as their own, often slightly changed.
