About this Item
149, [1], 32pp. With a terminal publisher's advertisement catalogue. Original publisher's blind-stamped navy cloth, lettered in gilt to spine. Lightly rubbed, marked, and bumped. Early ink gift inscription to FEP, early ink ownership inscription of Richard Benyon Croft to head of p.[5], very occasional spotting. The sole edition of an anonymous series of fictional sketches 'written for the author's children, with a view to direct their young minds to the all- important fact; that Religion is a practical affair of the deepest concern to all'. The six narratives, 'from the pen of a sailor', include an account of a ship wrecked on a voyage from Calcutta to England; and 'The Fugitive', the tale of a murderous Englishman who in desperation to avoid capture flees to North America. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ29511
