A propos de cet article

24mo, pp.88, [2], with an engraved title-page and frontispiece; wanting two leaves of terminal advertisements, but with, as a paste-down, a singleton with an advertisement for The Juvenile Magazine (not in ESTC but found in one copy we have previously handled); numerous woodcut vignette illustrations (all with contemporary amateur hand-colouring); title-page slightly soiled but a very good copy in the original Dutch floral boards, spine neatly restored; ownership inscription 'Mary Heald 1796', later gift inscription dated 1853.One of three undated editions, probably the last (adding Marshall's Cheapside premises at 17Queen Street to the imprint), but the only one with an engraved title-page and frontispiece. It is a classic rags-to-riches story in the mould of Little Goody Two-Shoes, in which Primrose earns her social upgrade (courtesy of a baronet) not just by her moral uprightness but also by her industrious scholarship. Inset narratives, such as that of 'Eudoxus and Leontine', reinforce the message of the importance of study and the possibility of social mobility. There is also much verse, all uncredited, but including Richard Jago's 'Elegy on a Black-Bird shot on Valentine's Day' and Isaac Watts on sibling love. ESTC records editions of pp.105 (5 copies) and pp.98 (Bodley, Indiana and Toronto), as well as the present, which it dates to 1789. However, the presence of an advertisement for a 'New Publication' The Juvenile Magazine which ran from January to December 1788, implies it may have been issued in 1788. ESTC (T120222) shows eight copies: BL, Cambridge; Free Library of Philadelphia, Indiana, Pierpont Morgan, UCLA, Wayne State, and Yale. Language: English. …
