Both in same slipcase. 16 + 14 pp. The author of The Butterfly's Ball wrote this story for his young son Robert. John Harris published the poem anonymously in London in January 1807, w…ith an engraved text and copperplate illustrations by the young William Mulready, the son of poor Irish immigrants. The Peacock at Home, a sequel, written by an anonymous lady, later identified as Catherine Ann (Turner) Dorset, was published in September 1807, by the Harris firm. This booklet was illustrated with copperplates engraved after William Mulready. The card envelopes that wrap around each individual booklet add a special touch. (One of a set of 35 handsome facsimiles in 28 slipcases.).

Collated, complete. The ownership inscriptions are those of 10-year-old Elizabeth Sewall Salisbury Chauncey (1807-1850), and later, her younger brother, Daniel Waldo Salisbury (1817-1890). The Salisbury family, beginning with Nicholas Salisbury (1694-1748), were prominent merchants from Boston. Elizabeth married Nathaniel Chauncey (1789-1865), a descendant of Charles Chauncey (c.1592-1671), the second president of Harvard. Published under the pseudonym, Edward Baldwin, this collection of fables was the work of William Godwin, husband of Mary Wollstonecraft who died 11 days after giving birth to their daughter, Mary Shelley. First published in London in 1805 by Thomas Hodgkins, a second edition appeared in 1807. The first American was published in 1811 (offered here). According to the New York Public Library, Godwin wrote this book for his children, which was the first book for his Juvenile Library. The illustrations were created by the then 19-year-old William Mulready. [Fables-Children's Literature]. William Mulready (1786-1863) (illustratore).
