First line
THE earliest pride of my heart was to inscribe to my muchloved Father the first public effort* of my pen; though the timid offering, unobtrusive and anonymous, was long unpresented; and, even at last, reached its destination through a zeal as secret as it was kind, by means which he would never reveal; and with which, till within these last few months, I have myself been unacquainted.*
From the rear cover
'The Wanderer; of, Female Difficulties' is set in England during the period of the French Revolution. The story exhibits the ordeal of a penniless emigree escaping from the France of the guillotine and the Terror, and trying to earn her living while guarding her own secrets.
