The Children’s Friend. Being a Selection from the Works of M. Berquin

Book Description

Montrose: Printed by Da. Buchanan, 1798. vi, 350pp., 12mo. Fine and dramatic engraved frontispiece by M. Brown; a little minor browning. Contemporary roan; neatly rebacked with a gilt label. “The Third edition,” so stated, presumably taken from one of the series of London translations that began around 1786, with the out-of-the-way Scottish imprint testifying to how popular these tales by Berquin had become by the end of the 1790s. Of this edition OCLC records two copies: Aberdeen, and Miami.
