Contemporary full calf with spine label. Small octavo. Two volumes bound in one. First American edition of this conduct book by the English novelist, poet, playwright and conduct book author, Jane West (1758-1852). Her earlier novel "A Gossip Story" (1796) served as a source text for Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility". Our copy is a curious one in that pages 29-32 of the text are misbound between pages vi and vii of the contents and introduction. The text is however complete. The leather covers are rubbed and worn but in firm shape and quite attractive. The text is worn with some foxing and spotting throughout, occasionally heavy. Eight pages have closed tears at the right side but the text is still present. Scarce.
