The young ragamuffins. ''Edmund Evans, engraver and printer, Raquet Court, Fleet Street.''--lower cover. ''G. Routledge & Co.''--cover. Noted by Brian Alderson: Presumably published by David Bogue some time near his death in 1856. Kent, who succeeded him presumably didn't want the title and sold it to Routledge, whose cover advertises only the seven books from the New Toy Books series published up to 1857. Tomoko Masaki, in A History of Victorian Popular Picture Books, p. 461, notes it as appearing in the Routledge Wholesale Catalogue of February, 1858. Poem ''The boy who was frightened at soap and water'' about a boy who refuses to wash, turns black and is sold into slavery. Stories in imitation of Heinrich Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter. Undated. Date from Bogue's and Routledge's years of activity, cf. P.A.H. Brown London publishers and printers p. 20 and 167.
