First edition of Brown's last novel, in contemporary calf. This epistolary narrative is less fantastical than his previous works, tracing the practical and moral considerations of a young woman who describes herself in the book's opening line as "far from a wise girl." Quite rare, it is not recorded at auction by RBH since 1925, also an incomplete copy. BAL 1503 (without second title).
12mo (154 x 95mm). Lacking rare second title and 2 plates (a few spots). Contemporary calf (hinges neatly repaired); modern box. Provenance: a number of signatures, including Catherine Withers, Ann C. Withers, and George Withers; an excerpt of Sir William Jones's "Laura" copied in pencil on final leaf.
