Notes
"My Mother" [by Ann Taylor]: p. 29-31.
"The [8] illustrations to Little Red Riding Hood are after cuts by [T.] Bewick" (Library of Congress); "illustrated with Bewick cuts, some of which appear in A New-Year's gift for little masters & misses" (Osborne Coll.); but according to F.J. Harvey Darton (Children's books in England, 3rd ed. 1982, p. 74, quoting Kendrew's grandson) "The woodcuts for [Kendrew's] publications were done freshly in York itself, by 'Mr Carrall, a Celebrated Wood Cutter'" (i.e. Michael William Carrall, engraver and printer at York).
Most of Kendrew's books are without dates; according to Davis, he was a bookseller from about 1803, being first listed as a printer in York directories between 1816-17 although a plate he printed for a conjuring book is dated 1811; he died in 1841 (p. 15 ff) and was succeeded by his son, John Lofthouse Kendrew.
Various instances of mispagination caused by misfolding of the sheets.
