'The School Boy's Holiday Companion' by T Kentish was published by Relfe and Fletcher in London in 1840. This book was drawn to my attention by Matthew Demakos.

T Kentish is probably Thomas Kentish who also wrote ‘The Pyrotechnist's Treasury, or, Complete Art of Making Fireworks’, ‘The Gauger's Guide and Measurer's Manual’ and ‘A Treatise on a Box of Instruments and the Slide-Rule’, among others.

A full copy of the work can be accessed online here.
