cover of The Juvenile Miscellany for January 1828: a boy shows a book to his dog, which is sitting attentively at his feet. Printed above the illustration are four lines from William Wordsworth: "Dear innocent childhood, my heart/ For better lore would seldom yearn, Could I but teach the hundredth part,/ Of what from thee I learn."

Happy Birthday to George Eliot from Lydia Maria Child, an abolitionist and novelist who was clearly also a fan!
