Book Description

Stourbridge: Printed by J. Heming, 1804.. 128pp. Octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Light foxing (though the second signature is more heavily foxed), otherwise a very good copy. First edition. Southcott met Townley on a visit to London in 1802, and with Ann Underwood, Townley became among Southcott's most intimate help- mates, recipient and transcriber of much of her dictation and, as here, letters and "communications." Interspersed with the text and verse by Southcott are sections of "Continuation of Joanna's History," signed by Townley. WRIGHT 24(1).
