Pease's Bookstore and Circulating Library, Albany

Richard H. Pease (1813-1891) settled in Albany in about 1833. Shortly thereafter he established Pease's Circulating Library at 2912 Market Street. Of note, is that his cousin, Erastus H. Pease, came to Albany about the same time and started his bookstore.

As is noted in this bibliography (19th Century Juvenile Series - Richard H. Pease) R. H. Pease published four series of chapbooks for juveniles beginning in about 1847.
These books had the R. H. Pease imprint. There is evidence that Pease published one set of chapbooks in 1839 with the "Pease's Bookstore and Circulating Library" imprint.

I am calling this series the "Six Cents Toy Books Series".
