About This Item
Glasgow: Printed for Richard Griffin & Co., 1826. iv, 184, 4pp. With an engraved frontispiece and two final leaves of publisher's advertisements. Original publisher's green printed paper boards, recently expertly rebacked. Inked gift inscription to FFEP, lightly spotted. A rare survival of the sole edition of an anonymous juvenile conduct of life tale promoting Christian morality and discipline. The prose is unremarkable, and on the whole a poor imitation of contemporary publications of this type, nevertheless despite, or perhaps because of this, the publisherâs introductory remarks are effusive in their praise: âIn the following little piece, the author has endeavoured to point out the pernicious consequences of improper indulgence; as this is the error most likely to mingle with the affection which actuates the breast of a Parent, its baneful effects cannot be too cautiously guarded againstâ. OCLC records copies at locations (Duke, Florida, NLS, Oxford, and Sydney). COPAC adds no further. . First edition. 12mo.
