The Lucile project is an attempt to recover the publishing history of a single 19th century book. Owen Meredith's Lucile was first published in 1860, by Chapman & Hall in England and as a Ticknor & Fields "Blue & Gold" in the United States. It was reviewed in the New York Times, as well as other newspapers and magazines. In England, it saw only a handful of editions over the next 40 years. In the United States, however, it remained in print until 1938, last offered as a surviving title in Burt's Home Library remaindered to Blue Ribbon Books in 1936. It went out of print in 1938.

April
WEARY at heart with winter yesterday, I sought the fields for something green to see, Some budded turf or mossbank quietly Uncovered in the sweet familiar way. Crossing a pasture slope that sunward lay, I suddenly surprised beneath a tree A girlish creature who at sight of me Sprang up all wild with daintiest dismay. “Stay, pretty one!“ I cried,—“who art thou, pray?” Mid tears and freaks of pettish misery, And sighing, “I am April,” answered she; “I rear the field flowers for my sister May.” Then with an arch laugh sidewise, clear and strong, Turned blithely up the valley with a song.
Obadiah Cyrus Auringer [1849-1937]
