by [ More, Hannah]
Dublin: Sold by William Watson...Printer to the Cheap Repository.., 1819. 20pp.plus self-wrappers. Octavo. Extracted from bound volume. Woodcut vignette on title. Old stamp of a defunct mercantile library, some light old stains at edges and last leaf, but a good, untrimmed copy. A characteristic Dublin chapbook printing of More's often-reprinted moral tale. Dated 1820 by NSTC, but Pollard records William Watson's death date as 1818. Bradshaw lists an array of Watson's printings of More's "Cheap Repository Tracts," but not this title, which lists 34 titles on the rear wrapper. (Inventory #: WRCLIT43098)
