Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions, all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition. We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after the official publication date. Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so. Most people start at our sites at: http://gutenberg.net http://promo.net/pg Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter. http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03 Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90 Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it appears in our Newsletters. Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+ If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end. The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts unless we manage to get some real funding. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. We need your donations more than ever!

PREFACE TO THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. It has been my object, in writing the following Little Songs for Little Boys and Girls, to endeavor to catch something of that goodhumored pleasantry, that musical nonsense, which makes Mother Goose so attractive to children of all ages. The little folks must decide whether the book is entertaining. To them I present my little volume, with the earnest hope that it will receive their approbation. If children love to lisp my rhymes, while parents find no fault in them, I ask no higher praise. CAMBRIDGE, 1832. PREFACE. In the present edition of the "Nursery Songs," which has been carefully revised, the original name given by its parent and best friends is restored. Two captivating little songs, by some unknown hand, appended to the English edition, are retained; and two or three from the first American edition, omitted in the English, are restored. I will hope that the little folks will welcome the little book in its new dress, and make much of it; for it was at first made, and is now adorned with pictures, on purpose to please them.

In little Annie's garden Grew all sorts of posies; There were pinks, and mignonette, And tulips, and roses. Sweet peas, and morning glories, A bed of violets blue, And marigolds, and asters, In Annie's garden grew. There the And the And there And the bees went for honey, humming-birds too; the pretty butterflies lady-birds flew. And there among her flowers, Every bright and pleasant day, In her own pretty garden Little Annie went to play. THE NEW MOON. Dear mother, how pretty The moon looks to-night! She was never so cunning before; Her two little horns Are so sharp and so bright, I hope she'll not grow any more. If I were up there With you and my friends, I'd rock in it nicely you see; I'd sit in the middle And hold by both ends; O, what a bright cradle 'twould be! I would call to the stars To keep out of the way, Lest we should rock over their toes, And there I would rock Till the dawn of the day, And see where the pretty moon goes. And there we would stay In the beautiful skies, And through the bright clouds we would roam; We would see the sun set, And see the sun rise, And on the next rainbow come home. LULLABY. Sleep, my baby, sleep, my boy; Rest your little weary head; 'Tis your mother rocks her baby In his little cradle bed. Lullaby, sweet lullaby! All the little birds are sleeping, Every one has gone to rest, And my precious one is resting In his pretty cradle nest. Lullaby, sweet lullaby! Sleep, O, sleep, my darling boy; Wake to-morrow fresh and strong; 'Tis your mother sits beside you, Singing you a cradle song. Lullaby, sweet lullaby! STOP! STOP! PRETTY WATER I. "Stop! stop! pretty water," Said Mary one day, To a frolicsome brook That was running away. II. "You run on so fast! I wish you would stay; My boat and my flowers You will carry away." III. "But I will run after; Mother says that I may; For I would know where You are running away." IV. So Mary ran on; But I have heard say That she never could find Where the brook ran away. MY LITTLE DOLL ROSE. I have a little doll; I take care of her clothes; She has soft flaxen hair; And her name it is Rose. She has pretty blue eyes, And a very small nose, And a cunning little mouth; My dear little Rose. I have a little sofa Where my doll may repose, Or sit up like a lady; My knowing little Rose. My doll can move her arms, And stand upon her toes; Or make a pretty curtesy, My funny little Rose. "How old is your dolly?" Very young I suppose, For she cannot go alone, My precious little Rose. Indeed I cannot tell, In poetry or prose, How beautiful she is, My darling little Rose. BUTTERFLIES ARE PRETTY THINGS. "Butterflies are pretty things, Prettier than you or I; See the colors on his wings; Who would hurt a butterfly?" "Softly, softly, girls and boys; He'll come near us by and by; Here he is, don't make a noise;-We'll not hurt you, butterfly." Not to hurt a living thing, Let all little children try; See, again he's on the wing; Good by! pretty butterfly! OLD NURSEY. O, here is papa, With Edward and Jane, Come to see good old Nursey, Who lives in the lane. She's the best of all Nurseys, And Edward and Jane Love dearly good Nursey, Who lives ..."
