| General note | In verse. Attributed by Welch to Catherine Ann Turner Dorset. The attribution to "Roscoe" refers to William Roscoe, author of "The butterfly's ball." "The peacock 'at home'" was published as a sequel to that work. |
| General note | "Illustrated with eight plates."--p. [1] of wrapper. The statement is mistaken; there are only seven plates. Plates probably engraved by William Charles. Cf. Weiss, Harry B. William Charles, early caricaturist, engraver and publisher of children's books, New York, 1932, p. 10. |
| General note | Frontispiece plate of "Valentine's Day" features a cherub with pairs of birds. |
