Sobre este artículo
Derby: Printed by and for Henry Mozley, Brook-Street, no date [c. ?1819]. 24mo, 126 x 68 mms.,, pp. [5] 6 - 71 [72 Contents], including in pagination a woodcut frontispiece, woodcut vignette for each song, contemporary boards, with most of leather spine gone, front end-paper before frontispiece removed; a so-so copy, with the following inscription on front paste-down end-paper: "exchanged with one for Jenny Stork for Catherine &/ Frances Stock Birchanger/ 24 feby. 1819/ have this" in two different hands and "F. Stokes" in pencil on top margin of title-page. Watts (1674 - 1748) published his Divine Songs attempted in Easy Language for the use of Children in 1715, and it would be difficult to estimate how many times it was reprinted. The earliest copy of this title printed in Derby that I can find was printed by John Drewry in 1792. Mozley published an edition of this work when he was in Gainsborough in 1785. Mozley was certainly publishing from an address in Brook Street in Derby as early as 1815, but the earliest date I can find for this title and the Derby imprint is 182? or 1825. Copies at the V&A and at the Bodleian of the 182? date have a colophon on p. [72], while the present copy lists Contents. So, I think it's safe to say that this is a rather rare reprinting or reissue and perhaps unique, since the inscription establishes that it was printed very early in 1819 but probably before.
