INTRODUCTION.

* * * * *

In _The London Chronicle_ for December 19--January 1, 1765--the
following advertisement appeared:--

"The Philosophers, Politicians, Necromancers, and the Learned in every
Faculty are desired to observe that on the 1st of January, being New
Year's Day (Oh, that we may all lead new Lives!), Mr Newbery intends
to publish the following important volumes, bound and gilt, and hereby
invites all his little friends who are good to call for them at the
Bible and Sun, in St Paul's Churchyard: but those who are naughty are
to have none.

"1. The Renowned History of Giles Gingerbread: a little boy who lived
upon learning.

"2. The Easter Gift; or the way to be good; a book much wanted.

"3. The Whitsuntide Gift: or the way to be happy; a book very necessary
for all families.

"4. The Valentine Gift: or how to behave with honour, integrity, and
humanity: very useful with a Trading Nation.

"5. The Fairing: or a golden present for children. In which they can
see all the fun of the fair, and at home be as happy as if they were
there, a Book of great consequence to all whom it may concern.
