JK Green
	No Date , but after 1852, due to 9 Thurlow Place being the imprint address.	None	The first item of Green’s work I saw. I discovered while trawling the internet looking for references to John Kilby Green at 9 Thurlow Place. From such small acorns grow very large trees.
	No Date , but after 1852, due to 9 Thurlow Place being the imprint address.	None	Green’s New ABC – Does this mean there was an “old” ABC.
	No Date and no imprint	None	The poem reads:- Dear maid your picture here behold, As natural as life! You think, your beauty, I am told, Would make you a sweet wife. But till you with more beauties strike, The eye, I cannot tell, \though very likely, I might like, Your --- Pussey very well.
	No Date and no imprint	None	The poem reads:- You seem to think that beauty Sir, Consists in a monstrous lot, Of hair!, But maidens don’t prefer, A face like - I don’t know what. Your barber pretends to make you shine, But he is a barbarous man. For win with that face a Valentine, I’m certain you never can.
