A propos de cet article

2 volumes, 12mo, pp xiv, 400: xiv, 391, [errata], with engraved frontispiece to each work, bound in contemporary calf, neatly rebacked, spines with raised bands and olive labels, light foxing and offsetting to frontispieces else sound copies, FIRST EDITIONS, issued as separate works, Maria Hack, having received favourable attention for a volume of Grecian stories sought to retell her own English story in question and answer form according to her own rather constrained moral outlook. Her efforts turned out to be quite successful and five years later she addded a continuation describing the rather more contentious period of the dissolution of the monasteries and its aftermath. With that she finished her efforts, the story never brought up to date.
