Boston: Isaiah Thomas and E.T. Andrews, 1798. 252 pp. 12mo. Lacking covers, spine chipped, title dust-soiled with edgetears. 252 pp. 12mo. The scarce second novel by the Massachusetts author of the bestselling epistolary novel The Coquette (1797); it "promotes improved female education through its depiction of an exemplary boarding school teacher. Though equally concerned with the status of women in the early republic, it is a narrowly conceived, didactic work; less compelling and less successful than The Coquette" (ANB).
