The first editions of the Cousin Lucy books were published in 1842
by B. B. Mussey. For a complete look at this series see: http://jacobabbott.com/CLS/index.html
Clark, Austin & Co., Clark, Austin & Smith, Clark, Austin,
Maynard & Co, and Clark & Maynard all published this series.
The formats for this series and Abbott's Jonas Series are the same
although Clark, Austin & Co. did not publish the latter series.
The latest date seen on a title page for a "Cousin Lucy Series" book is
1866. But some undated volumes with the 5 Barclay Street address
(1864-1880) were published after 1870 as they have a copyright date of
1870. Clark & Maynard advertised this series until 1882. In 1883
Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. reprinted this set.
Covers, spines and title pages are shown below. 6" x 4"

In 1859 Clark, Austin & Smith published "Abbott's Lucy and Jonas
Library". It is unknown at this time which books this series included.
Nonetheless one of the books was a combination book which included
"Jonas on a Farm in Winter" and "Jonas on a Farm in Summer". I suspect
that the other four Jonas Series books and the six Cousin Lucy books
were also published as combination books at that time.
