This is the ORIGINAL First Edition 1882. Floral endpapers.

" In 1841 Mary Ann [not yet ‘Marian’] Evans (George Eliot) was introduced to Cara and Charles Bray, ‘who were to be her most intimate friends during the next thirteen years’, until her elopement with G. H. Lewes. ‘It is impossible to overestimate the importance of Mary Ann’s introduction to the Brays’ (Haight, pp. 36, 44). Apart from the value of their warm friendship, the years of discussion and enquiry with the sceptical Charles and the religious Cara had a crucial influence on Mary Ann’s own religious opinions. ." . A very scarce and quite important title. " This ‘excellent little book’ is one of her ‘most important’ (DNB). It would be hard to find a more attractive guide to popular Victorian morality.".; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall.…
