Jack and Jill
Went up the hill.
Then up Jack got,
And home did trot.
Then Jill came in,
And she did grin.
They rode dog Ball,
And Jill did fall.
Says Jill, I'll tell
You how Jack fell.
I'll try, says Jack,
Upon his back.
Now Jill did laugh,
And Jack did cry.
They first rode high,
And then rode low.
The very next thing
They made a swing.

Says Jack, I'll try.

While Jack he bawled.

The Cries of York.]
"The Cries of York, for the amusement of Young Children, decorated with
cuts printed by T. Kendrew, Collier Gate, York." These York Cries have
not been mentioned by any writer on juvenile literature and the same may
be said of the Banbury Cries. T. Kendrew of York, brought out many
interesting penny and other children's books. He published "Giles
Gingerbread, a little boy who lived upon learning, by Tom Trip," this
was an abbreviation of Newberry's Edition of the "Silver Penny." The
series was illustrated with the early and prentice work of the Bewick
School. One of the rarest is "The Cries of York," the cuts of which
afterwards travelled to Banbury and appeared in "Banbury Cries." The
series we are enabled to give complete.
