A propos de cet article

16mo; viii, 9-272, 16 (ads) pages; Contents clean and tight in modern black cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine. Former owner's name on title page (after new endpapers) -- "Catharine ?? from Cousin Joe". Scattered foxing. Sixteen page publisher's catalogue at rear.

Gilman/Packard contributed most of the verses, tales, and novels, which were published in the periodical. For many years she also authored the Lady’s Annual Register and Almanac. Based on the author's observation and experience, the book provides insight into domestic life and manners in the early 19th century America in novelistic form.

All the negroes, dressed in their best, came to welcome their 'young maussa,' bringing offerings of eggs and chickens, and pronouncing prayers and blessings . " There is a four-page "Note" at the rear titled: "Religious Privileges of the Negroes of Charleston, D. C. ".…
