The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale has 11 pages from The Book of Accidents: Designed for Children (1831), a scared-straight sort of primer for small children on all the ways that they might be killed.

The Bull is a noble looking but ferocious and terrible creature; and when provoked he assumes the air of sullen majesty, and often tears up the ground with his feet and horns. They should be carefully avoided and never teazed [sic] by children. These two boys here seen had been taking a short walk, and were crossing the fields together, when they were pursued and one of them overtaken by the ferocious animal. After taking the poor boy on his horns, he tossed him high into the air, and catching him as he fell, tossed him up a again and thus continued to do until left for dead.
