Notes

"She never scrupled to sacrifice the beauty of a new purchase by freely cutting out as many leaves as contained passages likely to give them false ideas or to corrupt their innocence."
A selection of anecdotes from the two-volume edition. Originally published in 1795 by Priscilla Wakefield, author of Mental improvement, Juvenile travellers, & etc.
