GOODRICH SG. editor S. G.
ROBERT MERRY'S MUSEUM. Three books containing vols. 5/6 7/8 9/10. January 1843 - Dec.1845
New York & Boston: D. Mead / Bradbury Soden & Co. 1845. First edition. Hardcover. Good. woodcuts. 8vo 280 pages half leather some tears some loss of text leaf 273/274 leaf 305/306 lacks half the leaf <br/><br/>Extensively illustrated with woodcuts - some full-page. Original songs with music. Established by Samuel G. Goodrich in 1841 this very popular children's periodical claimed a circulation of 13000 in 1852. The Museum was similar in many ways to Parley's Magazine which it absorbed in 1844 but contained more adventure and thrills than Parley's. The most important part of the sixteen-page magazine during Goodrich's editorship was that devoted to the tales of the famous "Parley"; these were moral and didactic but nevertheless very popular. "Parley" used stories of travels by balloon to teach geography as well as historical lore painlessly. Another prominent feature was a series of natural history articles illustrated with pictures of wild animals. Woodcuts musical pieces puzzles and poems were plentiful. D. Mead / Bradbury, Soden, & Co. hardcover

The Improved Aesop
Berkeley: The Elkus Press 1946. Limited edition. Sewn wrappers.
