Second, corrected ed. 12mo. Engraved frontis, 2 pages of publisher’s adverts at rear. One signature starting, some browning, corner of advertisment leaf torn away, touching letters, a few small tears, some spotting and staining. Contemporary full calf (re-backed, corners repaired, rubbed and scuffed), gilt letters and tooling & raised bands to spine. Provence: John Ward, Stoke, 1787 (signature on front free endpaper); Dorothy Ward (old signature scored through on title); lines of poetry in copperplate manuscript to verso of title, a few margins and rear endpapers. The work, first published in 1762, is set in a female utopia and has come to be seen as a significant early feminist text. At one time the work was attributed to Oliver Goldsmith but scholars now seem to agree that his role was to revise the text for the second edition.
