Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Part of a series of fairy tales printed by the booksellers. The first tale included tells the tale of the Yellow Dwarf, a fairy tale with many fantastical elements including fairies, dwarves, griffins, sphinxes, mermaids, and nymphs. The story leaps about quite a bit before ending with the tragic deaths of two of the main characters. This story is followed by the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood, set in the town of Roseville in the south of France. Included in this tale are a few bits of rhymes that are used to enhance the moral cautions of the tale, including the recommendation to always tell the truth and not conceal any wrongdoings from parents. The last tale included in this collection is, “The Magic Bottle,” in which a poor Irishman, Mick Purcell, trades his last cow to a tiny person for a magic bottle that makes him rich. When Mick trades his bottle to his landlord in exchange for ownership of his farm, he loses his luck and all of his riches until he trades his last cow once again for a second bottle, out of which issue two men that beat him. Mick uses this bottle to then obtain his original bottle from his landlord, whereupon he lives out the rest of his prudently.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Part of a series of folk and fairy tales printed by the booksellers. A folk tale from London, this story details the rise of Richard Whittington, a historical figure, from friendless orphan to successful businessman, mayor, and knight in London during the reign of Edward III. After making his way to London as a boy, Whittington is taken in by a silk merchant and his family as a servant boy. Whittington saves his money to buy a cat who becomes his best friend and ultimately the secret of his success when, in a serendipitous sequence of events, the cat and her kittens are traded as mousers to a king and queen in Africa in exchange for a vast amount of wealth. The noble and generous spirit of Whittington allows him to capitalize on this wealth and ultimately achieve every desire of wealth, influence, and happiness.
<strong>Wikipedia Entry</strong>: <a title="Dick Whittington and his Cat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Whittington_and_His_Cat">Dick Whittington and His Cat</a> is the name of English folklore surrounding the real-life Richard Whittington (c. 1354–1423), wealthy merchant and thrice Lord Mayor of London, telling a story of how he supposedly escaped his poverty-stricken childhood and made his fortune thanks to the ratting abilities of his cat. However, the real Whittington did not come from a poor family of common stock, and there is no compelling evidence supporting the stories about the cat, or even whether he owned one.

To look near his farm or wark;

Healthy bloom and sprightly e'e ;
And of love and hairie grown wearit,

Or the tears that now ilk evening

W i ' the cauld grund for his b e d Compassed round wi'faes and stranger%
Soon Will's dreams of fancy fled.
Led to battle's blood-dyed banners
Waving to the widow's moan,
W i l l saw Glory's boasted honours
End in life's expiring groan.
Round Valenciennes' strong walled City*
Thick owre Dunkirk's fatal plain.
W i l l (though dauntless) saw wi' pity,
Britain's valiant sons lie slain.
Fired by freedom's burning fever,
Gallia's rack Death's slaughtering knell,
Frae the Scheldt to Rhine's deep, river,
Britons fought—but Britons fell.
Fell unaided, though cemented
By the faith of friendship's laws j
Fell unpitied ! unlamented I
Bluiding in a thankless cause.
In the thrang of comrades deeing,
Fighting foremost of them a',
Swith ! Fate's winged ball cam fleeing,
And took Willie's leg in twa.
Thrice frae aff the grund he started,
Thrice to stand he strave in vain,
Thrice, as fainting strength departed,
Sighed—and sank 'mid heaps of slain,

Erskine, wha ne'er slighted merit,
Marked him 'mid the bloody fray ;
Save that gallant daring spirit, 1
Twice he saved my life the day, *
fast on battle raging,.
T ed our stalwart youths awa,
Day by day new faes engaging,
Forced the weary back to fa'.
Driven at last frae post to pillar,
Left by friends wha ne'er proved true.
Tricked by knaves wha poucliecl our siller,
.J^fJiat could worn-out valour do ?
Myriads 4ark, Jike gathering thunder,Bursting, spread owre land and sea ;
Left alane> alas ! nae wonder
Britain's sons were forced to flee.

Shall walk the world in credit to his grave.

�THE
S H A R K,
YE Weaver blades ! ye noble chiels!
Wha fill our lann wi* plenty,
And mak our vera barest fiel's
To wave wi' ilka dainty,
Defend yoursels ! Tak sicker heed !
I warn you as a brither,
Or SHARK'S resolved, wi' hellish greed,
To gorge us a' thegither,
At ance this day.
In gude's-name will we ne'er get free
O' thieves and persecution !
Will Satan never let a be
To plot our dissolution !
Ae scoun'rel sinks us to the pit,
Wi' his eternal curses,
Anither granes,—and prays,—-and .yet
Contrives to toom our purses,
Maist every day.
�4
A higher aim gars WILLY think,
And deeper schemes he's brewin j
Ten thousan' fouk at ance to sink
To poverty and ruin !
Hail mighty Patriot! Noble Soul!
Sae generous, and sae civil,
Sic vast designs deserve the whole
Applauses of the devil,
On ony day.
In vain we've toil'd wi' head and heart,
And constant deep inspection,
For years on years, to bring this Art
So nearly to perfection ;
The mair that Art and Skill deserve,
The greedier WILL advances,
And Saws and Barrels only serve
To heighten our expences
And wrath this day,
But know, to thy immortal shame,
While stands a Paper-Spot
So long, great Squeeze the Poor ! thy fame*
Thy blasted fame shall rot,
And as a brick, or limestane kill
Wi* sooty reek advances,
So grateful shall thy mem'ry still
Be to our bitter senses,
By night or day.

Lang, WILLY SHARK wi' greedy snout
Had sneak'd about the C—n—1,
To eat his beef, and booze about, ^
Nor prov'd at drinking punGh ill,
Till, Judas-like, he got the bag,
And squeez'd it to a Jelly,
Thae war the days for WILL to brag.,
And blest times for the belly
Ilk ither day.
The mail* we get by heule and cruk
e af'en grow the greedier,
SHARK raiket now through every neuk
To harl till him speedier ;
His ghastly conscience, pale and spent,
Was summon'd up, right clever,
Syne, wi' an execration, sent
Aff, henceforth and for ever,
Frae him that day.
This done, Trade snoovt awa wi* skill
And wonderfu' extention,
And widen't soon WHS every Mill,
(A dexterous invention !)
Groat after groat, was clippet aff,
Frae ae thing an' ani'tber,
Till fouk began to think on draff,
To help to baud thegither
Their banes that day.
i
�6
Now, round frae Cork to Cork he trots
Wi' eagerness and rigour,
And Rump the Petticoats and Spots !"
His Sharkship roar'd wi' vigour ;
But, whan his Harnishes cam in
In dizens in a morning,
And a' grew desolate aud grim,
His rapture chang'd to mourning
And rage that day.
Thus Haman, in the days of yore,
Pufft up wi' spitefu' evil,
Amang his blackgaurd, wicked core
Centriv'd to play the devil;
High stood the Gibbet's dismal cape,
But little thought the sinner
That he had caft the vera rape
Wad rax his neck, e're dinner
Was ower that day.
Wha cou'd believe a Chiel «ae trig
Wad cheat us o' a bodle ?
Or that sae fair a gowden wig
Contain'd sae black a noddle?
But S H A R K beneath a sleekit smile
Conceals his fiercest ginning,
And, like his neighbours of the Nile,*
Devours wi' little warning
By night or day.
* A well-known river much infested by Crocodi!
�7
O huppy is that man and blest
Wha in the C—n—1 gets him !
Soon may he cram his greedy kist
And dare a soul to touch him,
But should some poor aul wife, by force
O' POortith, scrimp her measure,
Her cursed Reels at P — y Corse,
Wad bleeze wi* meikle pleasure
To them that day.
Whiles, in my sleep, methinks I see
Thee marching through the City,
And Hangman Jock, wi' girnan glee,
Proceeding to his duty.
I see thy dismal phiz, and back,
While Jock, his stroke to strengthen,
Brings down his brows at every swack,
"I'll learn you frien' to lengthen
Your Mills the day."
Poor Wretch ! in sic a dreadfu' hour
O' blude and dirt and hurry,
What wad thy saftest luks or sour
Avail to stap their fury ?
"Lang Mills," wad rise around thy lugs
In mony a horrid volley,
And thou be kicket to the dugs,
To think upo' thy foily
Ilk after day.
>
�Ye Senators ! whase wisdom deep
Keeps a' our matters even,
If sic a wretch ye dare to keep
How can ye hope for heaven ?
Kick out the scoun'erel to his shift,
We'll pay him for his sporting,
And sen' his Mills and him adrift
At ance to try their fortune
Down Cart this day.
Think, thou unconscionable SHARK !
For heaven's sake bethink thee !
To what a depth of horrors dark
Sic wark will surely sink thee—
Repent of sic enormous sins,
And drap thy curst intention,
Or faith I fear, wi' birslt shins,
Thou'l mind this reprehension
Some future day.
�THE
AMERICAN BLUE-BIRD.
When Winter's cold tempests and snows
are no more,
Green meadows, and brown furrowed
fields re-appearing,
The fisherman haling their shade to the shore
And cloud.cleaving geese to the lakes are
a-steering
When first the lone butterfly flits on the
wing,
When red glow the maples, so fresh and
so pleasing,
O then comes the Blue-bird, the herald of
Spring,
And hails with his warblings the charms
of the season.
Then loud piping frogs make the marshes to
ring;
Then warm glows the sunshine, and fine
is the weather;
�The blue woodland flowers just beginning
to spring,
And spicewood and sasafras budding together
O then to your gardens, ye housewives, repair ;
Your walks border up; sow and plant at
your leisure;
The Blue-bird will chant from his box such
an air,
That all your hard toils will seem truly
a pleasure.
He flits thro' the orchard, he visits each tree
The red flowering peach, and the apple's
sweet blossoms;
He snaps up destroyers wherever they be,
And seizes the caitiffs that lurk in their
bosoms;
He drags the vile grub from the corn it devours,
The worms from their webs where they
riot and welter.
His song and his services freely are ours,
And all that he asks, is, in summer, a
shelter.
is pleas'd when he gleams
�11
Now searching the furrows—now mounting to chear him,
The gard'ner delights in his sweet simple
strain,
And leans on his spade to survey and to
hear him,
The slow ling'ring schoolboys forget they'll
be chid,
While gazing intent as he warbles before
'em,
In mantle of sky-blue, and bosom so red,
That each little loiterer seems to adore him
When all the gay scenes of the summer are
o'er,
And Autumn slow enters so silent and
sallow,
And millions of warblers, that charm'd ua
before,
Have fled in the train of the sun-seeking
swallow;
The Blue-bird forsaken, yet true to his home
Still lingers, and looks for a milder tomorrow,
Till, forc'd by the horrors of winter to roam
He sings his adieu in a lone note of sorrow.
While Spring's lovely season, serene, dewy,
warm,
�12
The green face of earth, and the pure
blue of Heaven,
Or Love's native music have influence to
charm,
Or Sympathy's glow to our feelings are '
given,
Still dear to each bosom the Blue-bird shall
be.
His voice, like the thrillings of hope, is a
treasure;
For, thro* bleakest storms, if a calm he but
see.
He comes to remind us of sunshine and
pleasure.

Woodcut #01: Illustration on title-page of a young farmer sharpening a scythe in a field.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The chapbook contains two humorous songs in Scots. The first describes the adventures of a group of friends attending a fair in Glasgow, including quite a bit of drinking, eating, dancing, flirting, fighting, and other tom-foolery, including the comical misidentification of some livestock. In the second song, Auld John Paul, an elderly but sprightly widower, woos an alewife. After some sweet talk and fighting off some of his would-be rivals for the widow’s hand, the two are married at a well-attended wedding

But mark, I pray, what foil owed aftpV,

When be came to her, thinking to woo her,
'' hVr • father to him thus beg mi,
Says, if you'll take her, and Wife you'll make her,
I'll give you a portion when you're my fen*
A
Although 1 fay £?* fh? is a clever girl,

• Ahiioi-gh iae J s d r e i i j n no rich apparel, there's many a dray-hoy knows her name :
Bear down upon hec, you'll gain the honour,
that none before has ever done,
That is .AO take her, and a wife to make her,
and you'll gain thcrtitle of a cobier's fon.
Then fays \l\t Taylor, I dq
rattle,
\ I am worth a thirpble; goofe, and fheers,
Likewik a needle i haive ps'd in battle,
agai< all my f o e r f o r thefe many years;
Whene'er they feize m ^ or try to teaze me,
I run shem quite thro* 'till the job's done,

I'll have a portion/when I'm your fon.
T h e portion I win give to my daughter,

So if you take her, and wife you make her,
all this you'll have when you're rm> fen.
The jolly Taylor quickly confented,
for to be married out of hand,
And with her portion he was contented,
being as much as he did demand ;
In a cart were carried for to be married, /
in a rag filed the firft job was done.
Where the old wife dane'd, & the cobler prane'd,
for to fee their daughter and their fen.
A Chimney Sweeper he was the Parfon,
an old Small Coal-man he flood for Clerk,
T o view the Bride the was quite handfome,
was you to fee her in the dark \
She was hump-backed, and bandy-legged,
and her mouth as wide as a barrel's bung.
So they were wedded, $nd then were bedded,
in Gravel-lane all among ft the dung.
