title page date.
Editions noted in 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1866 (Walker, Fuller and

"Nobody's Child" is a composite of numerous short stories by a number
of authors. The first book printing of this group of stories was in
1860 by Walker, Wise and Co.
Sheldon & Co. reprinted this series beginning in 1867. This series
is listed in a Horace B. Fuller catalogue but as of yet I have not
seen an example of a book by that firm.
