Catching of the whale and seal : $b or, Henry Acton's conversation to his son William on the whale and seal fishery

Anonymous

Likely not by "Henry Acton," though sometimes attributed that way. An 1837 book from the same Ives and Jewett publisher is: "Woodland cottage, or, Henry and Emma Acton's conversations to their children, on the animal and vegetable world. Compiled by a mother for her children." One of the two children in that story is also named "William," so both books seem likely to be about the same fictional Acton family.
