Item description from seller

12mo. pp. 113. Original printed boards, spine a little torn but a sound copy nevertheless. Mary Roberts, editing here as Mary de Gleva, was an author writing mostly on nature subjects. Born into a Quaker family, she left the Society after the death of her father and moved to Brompton Square, London. "The narrative now offered to the public was lent me with permission to copy it, about ten years since; and while lately reading it again, I thought that the interesting information it contains, might beneficially be made known; more especially, as we are threatened with a calamity similar to the one Mrs. Jackson so feelingly narrates." from the introduction. This must refer to the cholera pandemic sweeping the world, killing 55,000 in the United Kingdom, 6,536 in London. Scarce. Copies are recorded University of Minnesota, The Society of Friends library and the Bodleian which a note added: "A family historian, Daniel Roberts, suggests the book is a fiction, written by Mary Roberts, writing under the nom de plume Mary de Gleva, "A Quaker of the Olden Time, being a Memoir of John Roberts by his son" 1895. (pages 461-2).".
