This collection of nursery rhymes and ballads has been selected to ]3reserve for the children of this century the quaint little stories and verses which were popular about a hundred years ago, and in later years of the nineteenth century. Most of these are now out of print, and were taken from the following sources: Old copies of Bliymes for the Jfarsery, Oiiginal Poems and Hymns for Infant Minds written by Jane Taylor and her sisters, A nn and A delaide; also from The Daisy, or Cautionary Stories in Verse, and The Cowslip, published in London in 1811. From these books a selection, including many of the Taylors nursery rhymes, called Rhymes for theN ursery, published in Boston about 1840, was compiled, possibly by Mrs. ancy Sproat, who added a few of her own shorter stories. She wrote many httle books of dialogues in verse, in which The Blackberry Girl first appeai-ed. Besides these are many fromM rs. Follen sL ittle Songs, and the pretty country ballads of theS wedenborgian lady, Mrs. A nn Augusta (G ray) Carter, whose Juvenile Ballads have been out of print since 1850.
