Item description from seller

Printed for Jacob Tonson, in the Strand. London: 1714. Full calf leather. (20), 576, (18) pp. A collection of essays, presumably written for women, discussing topics such as education, dress, recreations, chastity, etc. There is some debate as to whether the work was written by Lady Mary Wray Harrison or Richard Steele, with modern scholarship leaning toward the latter, along with other (George Berkeley) authors. Richard Steele was an author, playwright and politician, and is perhaps best known for his journal, The Spectator. GOOD condition. Some scuffing, minor soiling and a few small stains to the covers. Leather very worn along the spine, with splits, cracking, flaking and loss, including a small chip. Hinges cracked and beginning to separate. Several ownership signatures and a stamp present on the first endpaper, inside front cover. Text block solid. Minor scattered foxing and soiling. ESTC T80462.
