RE: The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes
 * JONES, Griffith, born in 1722, now remembered principally as having been concerned in the introduction into England of such little books for the amusement of children as Goody Two-shoes, Giles Gingerbread, Tommy Trip, and the like. He was assisted in this speculation by Mr. Giles Jones his brother, and Mr. John Newbery the bookseller. He was a friend of Dr. Johnson, to whose Literary Magazine he contributed; and also of Goldsmith, along with whom he wrote for the British Magazine. He was the editor of the London Chronicle, Daily Advertiser, and Public Ledger, and translated extensively from the French. His little work, "Great Events from Little Causes," had an extensive sale. He died in 1780.—D. W. R.
 * David Williamson Runciman, 1837–1910
