[4] of wrapper. - "Price 18 3/4 cents."--at foot of p. [1] of wrapper. - Frontispiece plate of "Valentine's Day" features a cherub with pairs of birds. - In verse. Attributed by Welch to Catherine Ann Turner Dorset. The attribution to "Roscoe" refers to William Roscoe, author of "The butterfly's ball." "The peacock 'at home'" was published as a sequel to that work. - Rosenbach, A.S.W. Children's books, 486. - Shaw & Shoemaker, 31352. - Welch, d'A.A. Amer. children's books, 296.2
