- Notes:
- Title and imprint statement transcribed from p. [1] of printed wrapper.
- The text and pictures originally appeared in A treasury of pleasure books for young children (1850), edited by Joseph Cundall. Cundall states, "'The story of the three bears' is a very old nursery tale, but it was never so well told as by the great poet Southey, whose version I have (with permission) given you, only I have made the intruder a little girl instead of an old woman. This I did because I found that the tale is better known with Silver-Hair, and because there are so many other stories of old women."--p. [v] of an 1853 issue of A treasury of pleasure books for young children.
- According to extant Portland, Me. directories, Francis Blake was located at 58 Exchange St. between 1856 and 1858. He was not listed in directories for 1852 or 1863.
- "Illustrated with six drawings by Harrison Weir." --illustration statement, 1850 issue of The story of the three bears, in an 1850 issue of A treasury of pleasure books for young children. Illustrations in that issue are very similar to the engravings in the issue in hand. Engravings in the issue in hand signed by "W. Roberts sc" (i.e., William Roberts?).
