GOODY TWO-SHOES
A FACSIMILE REPRODUCTION
OF THE
EDITION OF 1766
WITH AN INTRODUCTION
GIVING SOME ACCOUNT OF THE BOOK AND SOME SPECULATIONS AS TO ITS AUTHORSHIP
BY
CHARLES WELSH
"The facsimile of 'Goody Two-Shoes,' which Mr Welsh has edited, and Messrs Griffith and Farran published, might be classed among the Christmas books of the season, but it deserves more extended notice, as reproducing a volume which, if hardly known to the present generation, ranks among English Classics. Mr Welsh deserves hearty thanks for the trouble he has taken in producing this neat little volume."—AthenÆum.
"We are sure that many who are no longer in their youth will be pleased to see it."—Queen.
"A very quaint little book."—Punch.
"Notwithstanding the difficulties of type, the cramped pages that will not keep open, and the hideous woodcuts so faithfully reproduced, we have seen more than one child reject the latest picture book of Mr Caldecott or Kate Greenaway, with its purple and gold, for the hodden grey of 'Goody Two-Shoes.'"—Pall Mall Gazette.
