- Abstract
- en_US This is my earliest English edition of Speckter's work. The engravings are substantially simpler than Speckter's originals; compare Dear Goose (192-3) with the engraving reproduced by Hobbs on 91. Hey, the original author, is not even mentioned here. For other English editions of Speckter in my collection, see 1858, 1879?, 1885? (twice), 1885?/1900?, and 1885?/1910? Hobbs seems to have missed this edition when she says that an English translation came out in 1858. This Howitt edition may be one of those imitations that made Speckter so angry that, when they were sent to him, he consigned them immediately to the stove!
