About This Item
London: Printed for G. Kearsley..., 1782. FIRST EDITION. 12mo (in 6s), pp. xvi, 203 [204 adverts], H2 signed H3, H3 signed H5, engraved title-page with vignette of Fielding, later 18th century quarter sheepskin (worn and rubbed), marbled boards (detached), with the inscription in an 18th century hand "Ex D. Kilner" on the front paste-down end-paper and "Sarah Woodward [?Genson]/ Sept. '64 " [i. e., 1864], on the recto of the front free end-paper, with a pencil drawing of "arms of S. W. G." below the name. D. Kilner is possibly the children's writer, Dorothy Kilner (1755 - 1836). Kearsley published three editions of this work, as well as other "Beauties" with similar title-pages, and the only change seems to be in the title-page. An edition was published in Dublin in 1783.
