1800s Child's Magazine Hardcover

Hi all:
I'm wondering what year in the 1800s this Child's Magazine Hardcover is from. Publishing info is missing. Also, I'm not sure whose signatures / what's written inside. Thanks for any replies.

 

Apparently, these were published from early Victorian to late in both the UK and US. This will give you a better idea of what you have. Could well be 1837 but it would be helpful if you can confirm UK (by either content, illustrations or variations of spelling.)

The part of the text included in your photo appears in this book from 1834 and apparently was written by a Mrs. Sherwood. I didn't compare the two versions word for word, but did see one word that is different in the two publications even though the story otherwise seems the same. So my guess is that your book may be from the same era, with a published story appearing in a magazine, either in whole or in part, or maybe as a serial? The book in the link below may possibly have more clues...

If the "37" in your book was originally "1837," I think that would fit republication of a story that appeared in another book in 1834.

Also, the book in my link (above) was itself a republication of Mrs. Sherwood's work. I didn't try to see if it said when different individual works were first published.

 

Hmm... the hunt continued... it appears that Mrs. Sherwood was the editor of "The Child's Magazine," at least during one period.

I was thinking perhaps volume 37 but 1837 is plausible.

 

Great research, Pat! Further than I got by far!
