Edward Livermore published these six titles in its "Stories for Childhood" series between 1847 and 1858. The nine book Livermore series also included the three volumes from Colman's "Stories for Childhood" series. The Livermore format is the same as the format shown below.There are ads that state that by 1847 Colman's "Parent's Library" included all nine books. This is not confirmed.
