About This Item
Philadelphia: Association of Friends for the Diffusion of Religious and Useful Knoweledge, 1848. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A brief biography of a British Quaker prison reformer, told in part through extended quotations from her writings. Fry was honored in the UK with her picture on the 5-pound note.
This is an adaptation of a book published by the London Tract Association.
94 pages. 4-1/8 by 6-1/4 inches. First edition of this text (or the first American edition, revised). A bit of wear to the corners, otherwise a nice copy in the publisher's brown pebbled cloth binding.
