Wm. Carter & Bro. published these titles while it was at 7 Water
Street (1861-1863).
Six of the twelve titles made up “Aunt Mary’s Library for Young
Children”. Those six books and the six others listed here comprised
the Nettie Lightfoot Series which was published by Degen, Estes &
Co., Lee & Shepard, Charles E. Brown, Cobb, Andrews & Co., and
George R. Dana & Co. Unlike those other publishers, I cannot find
any reference that indicates that Wm. Carter & Bro. published a
series called the "Nettie Lightfoot Series" although it did publish
all of the titles which made up the series.
So I suspect that this group of books is the Nettie Lightfoot Series but cannot be certain.
