There is dampstaining to the top of the front edge of the first six and last four pages. Good. RARE.Possibly authored by Jane Alice Sargant (1789-1869), who was born in Isle of Ely. She was close to her elder brother Sir Harry Smith, the victor of the battle of Aliwal in Northern India and governor of the Cape of Good Hope. Turning to teaching, writing and running a school after her husband's death, she mainly penned religious-themed works. Her first novel "Ringstead Abbey" was followed by juvenile fiction which she wrote for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
