A propos de cet article

12mo, pp. vi, [1], 167, [1]; engraved frontispiece; original brown paper-covered boards, printed paper label on spine; small crack at the top of the front joint, frontispiece slightly offset onto title page, label lightly toned, but in all, a near fine copy. Bookplate of Anne and F. G. Renier. Ann Taylor (1757-1830) was the mother of Ann (the younger) and Jane Taylor, both of whom who would become noted writers. "Ann Taylor was a prolific and lively correspondent, writing regularly to her children whenever they were apart . In 1814 [she] published as Maternal Solicitude for a Daughter's Best Interests. It sold extremely well, going into fifteen editions (two of them American) over the next sixteen years. There followed other works in the same vein: Practical Hints to Young Females (1815); The Present of a Mistress to a Young Servant (1816); Reciprocal Duties of Parents and Children (1818); and, in collaboration with her daughter Jane, Correspondence between a Mother and her Daughter at School (1817). Most proved equally popular and influential" (ODNB).
