Item description from seller

Octavo, red cloth with black and gilt lettering, [4], 173, [8] pp. A guide for girls by Francis Edward Clark, an American clergyman and founder of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. The text reads somewhat more informally than most manuals of the era, and is full of anecdotes of virtuous or immoral girls: "These chapters were originally given as lectures to an audience embracing hundreds of girls and young women, and the somewhat colloquial form of address has not been changed, as the author wishes to speak to the audience that reads this book rather than merely to write for them." Includes chapters on "A Young Woman's Rights," and "A Young Woman's Wrongs" (among the latter: "The Art of Pleasing," "An Inordinate Love of Imagination", and "Love of Dress"). Another chapter frowns upon "aimlessnessness", "Romantic Sickness," "Weak Nerves," and "Semi-Invalidism", while a chapter on "Frivolity and Flirtation" covers "Girlish Wild Oats," "The Flippant Young Woman," and The Gossip Tippler." Ten in OCLC. A good copy with occasional smudge to pages, pencil underlining and annotations to pages, staining to covers, bumping to corners, wear to corners and spine tips.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
