In two volumes. vii, [1], 380; [4], 420pp. With a tipped-in errata slip to each volume. Contemporary green half-calf, green cloth boards, tooled in gilt and blind, contrasting red morocco lettering-pieces. A trifle rubbed. Recent bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to FEP of Vol. I, early inked gift inscriptions to both FEPs, spotted. The first edition of Catharine Long's (1797-1867) first published work, an evangelical novel which, through contemporary religious themes, sought to undermine the Tractarian movement that she so despised. The Church of England Quarterly Review found the work wanting: 'The tale is pleasing but melancholy, and though brightened by the influence of Christianity, it leaves a sad and pensive feeling behind. There is little dramatic skill, no profound investigation of character; but still the book is one that deserves and has attained popularity'. Size: 8vo.
