Book Description

Geneva: Chez Mme. Susanne Guers Libraire, 1826. [iv], 200pp., 18mo. Engraved frontispiece and additional title with vignette (“Kenneth et Normann vont à l’école”); a few minor stains. Contemporary half calf; quite worn but firm. First edition in French, originally published in Edinburgh in 1823. One of several novels by this author, who died young in 1825, it “replaces,” according to ODNB, “the rational Lockean narratives of a previous generation of writers for children, such as Anna Letitia Barbauld and Maria Edgeworth, with an unremitting focus on individual salvation.” Of this edition OCLC locates only two copies in North America (UCLA and Cal Poly), to which COPAC adds National Library of Scotland.
