Abstract
This project is an online edition of Anna Letitia Barbauld's children's work, Hymns in Prose for Children. Barbauld originally published this work in 1781 and this edition has resurrected it in order to be viewed on the web. The printed portion discusses the history of children's publishing and editorial choices. The web display dynamically creates each hymn by itself with a watercolor painting specifically painted for that particular hymn. The pages also contain margin notes that indicate textual variants between older editions, regularized words from British to American spellings, and footnotes that show abridged or edited versions of the same text. The following url begins the text of the hymns http://online.english.uga.edu:8080/cocoon/mount/hwhite/hymns
