His most famous is this work originally titled in French "L'ami des Enfants" was published in Paris in 17682-83 and the English translation in London in 1783-84. The original translation into English was by Mary Stockdale daughter of John Stockdale who printed it. "The Children's Friend" was comprised of stories that were about things that might happen to children in everyday life rather that being fairy tales or the like. Some were instructional "Absolute obedience to Parents" "The Good Son Rewarded" for example some were humorous "The Monkey" and most were presented in dialogue format or as plays "The Christmas-box" "Honesty The Best Policy" etc. It appears that the four volumes of this the first American printing we not issued simultaneously but over a period in 1789 and 1790.
