John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828 he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840 McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co. which specialised in toy books comic almanacs and valentines. His son John McLoughlin Jr. eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862 McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St. New York between 1863 and April 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies including chromolithography for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games puzzles paper dolls and other children's products. By 1870 they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century. John McLoughlin paperback

1790rif. 24683Dublin: Byrne 1790. First Irish Edition. 8vo pp. 160. Front hinge loose. Bound in rubbed and some worn leather backed paper boards paper lacking from front cover with some library stamps inside. A good copy for all that. Entirely printed in red. An English edition appeared the same year. See Tourneux Bibliographie de l'histoire de Paris pendant la revolution Francaise 3.13483; ESTC T108411 for the UK Edition; not in Martin-Waller or Saricks. The original French edition of this pretended to be the official list of pensioners published by the government. It was more likely issued to embarrass the ruling class portraying them as a group of loafers living off the work of the population burdened with taxes. It's appearance in England is an indication of the British Jacobean interest in the French goings on. The existence of a Dublin printing is especially strange given that the Irish working population spoke mostly Gaelic and this nasty work is not really aimed at the ruling class who were the subject of its satire. The British library Catalogue offers a possible attribution to Jean-Baptiste Martin Louis La Reynie de la Bruyere q.v. Querard 4.558-559. Byrne unknown

A number of variants are held in the UK and the USA § Not in Oxford nor Cagle nor Bitting. cf Axford pps.297-8 for American editions circa 1836. ¹ This edition does not list an author. There are a number of British editions with variations published and/or printed and sold between 1815 and 1848 across Yorkshire and the Midlands claiming authorship by W S Stavely Edward Logan MacKenzie J E Thomas and others. There are also several American editions published 1830s in New York and Chicago claiming authorship by W Young or S W M'Getrick. ² Inspection of digital copies at Leeds University and the British Library suggest this was issued originally with cheaply printed yellow wrappers. ³ Again comparing digital copies from institutional holdings early copies have less recipes; later editions like this have additional chapters for apricot preserves and for temperance drinks.

Otherwise a clean copy. Recent paper wrappers. In 1853 Mr Chambers was given leave by parliament to introduce a bill to the Commons. The premise of the bill 'A bill to facilitate personal liberty in certain cases' gave wide access to a panel of commissioners to enter Roman Catholic convents with the aim of securing the freedom of those held there against their will. Catholics viewed this as a scurrilous anti-Catholic attack and denied that any nuns were prisoners. They viewed the legislation as a reaction to the recent restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales. The list of signatories to the rear begins with the Lords whose names are led by Charles H Clifford & Francis Stonor. unknown
