About this Item
[5], viii-xvi, 502pp. Without half-title. Contemporary dark green morocco, ruled and lettered in gilt, A.E.G. Lightly rubbed and sunned. Marbled endpapers, internally clean and crisp. The first edition of Frances Jane Carey's (c.1754-1860) highly literate travelogue, recording her experiences touring post-Napoleonic France with her husband and young son. Carey, according to the publisher's advertisement, directs her attention 'chiefly to the habits, appearance, customs, dress, and conditions of her own sex'. She includes informative and entertaining observations on female education, governesses, dress for ladies, the extreme distress of the poor, and French booksellers who 'express no admiration for Mrs. Radcliffe's romances, and seem to wonder that we should find amusement in what excites the very unpleasurable sensation of fear'. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ22600
