About This Item
London: Bernard Quaritch, 1880 First edition. Original cream-colored paper boards, neatly rebacked, with modern paper spine label. . Octavo. Some dampstaining to boards. Toning to endpapers. Very clean inside. A very good copy. After a perusal of my list I think every gentleman will agree with me that Ladies really are very aggravating. It would be curious to hear the exclamation of any lady who has written as 'A lady,' upon looking it over. She would probably exclaim that when she wrote as 'A lady,' she thought she was the only one, at all events one of the first… "…[T]hough these ladies do not like placing their names on their books, yet there is little desire to disguise the authorship, and enquiries are generally soon satisfied if a work has attained any success. They like to see themselves in print, so long as there is no infringement of the patent of modesty," (p. 7).
