About the Book

NOTE. The pieces gathered into this volume were, with two exceptions, written for the entertainment of a private circle, without any view to publication. The editor would express her thanks to the writers, who, at her solicitation, have allowed them to be printed. They are published with the hope of aiding a work of charity, -the establishment of an Agency for the benefit of the poor in Cambridge, -to which the proceeds of the sale will be devoted. ANNE W. ABBOT. Anne Wales Abbott or, Abbot (April 10, 1808 - June 1, 1908) was a game designer, magazine editor, literary reviewer, and author. Abbott was born 10 April 1808, the daughter of Reverend Abiel Abbott, a Beverly, Massachusetts clergyman, and Eunice Abbott. Abbott (sic) designed the hugely popular card game Dr. Busby, which was published by W. & S. B. Ives of Salem, Massachusetts on March 7, 1843. It sold 15,000 copies in its first eighteen months Abbot authored her second game The Racers which was sold in Salem, Mass. through J. P. Jewett on January 13, 1844. The Racers was not published by W. & S. B. Ives as it is not advertised with other published W. & S. B. Ives games in her book, DOCTOR BUSBY AND HIS NEIGHBORS which was typeset by November 24, 1844 but not released for sale until December 28, 1844. She released her third game Master Rodbury, September 14, 1844. This time she again used W. & S. B. Ives as the publisher. Abbot published her first book, WILLIE ROGERS sometime before November 24, 1844, quickly followed by her second book, DOCTOR BUSBY AND HIS NEIGHBORS on December 28, 1844. Before 1991 Anne Wales Abbot was credited for authoring The Mansion of Happiness board game which was released by W. & S. B. Ives on November 24, 1843. The Mansion of Happiness was originally released in England in 1800, and authored by George W. M. Fox. She may have collaborated with S. B. (Stephen Bradshaw) Ives, but neither Anne nor Stephen, authored the W. & S. B. Ives published version which was an almost exact copy of the English game. Before 1992 Abbot was credited for authoring the extremely long lasting card game of Authors which was published in 1861 by A. Augustus Smith of G. M. Whipple and A. A. Smith. They were also publishers in Salem, Mass. but the publishing house was one block away from the original W. & S. B. Ives bookstore at 230 Essex Street. That bookstore and publishing house, 232 Essex Street were now owned by Henry P. Ives, S. B. Ives son. Actually, the game of Authors was invented by "a coterie of bright young ladies" of Salem and presented by a gentleman to A. Augustus Smith for publication. By 1861, Anne Abbot would have been in her fifties, not fitting the description of the designers of Authors.
