About This Item
Bath: Printed by Richard Cruttwell..., 1808. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xii, 236, contemporary calf, gilt spine. A very good copy. This work is based on letters given to Smith (1776 - 1806) by Dr Mummsen of Altona, one of several works published after her early death. She was an exceptionally gifted woman, described by her mother "a living library; but locked up, except to a chosen few."
