About this Item
Description:
In four parts. [2], 40, 38, 40, 41pp, [1]. Numerous woodcut vignettes in the text. Contemporary gilt-ruled sheep. Rubbed and marked, surface loss to spine and lower board, upper board held by cords only, lower joint split. Contemporary inked ownership inscription to recto of FFEP. William St Clair's copy, with his distinctive pencilled ownership inscription and manuscript note to FEP. A revised edition of educator and children's author Eliza Fenwick's (1766-1840) popular series of cautionary tales. This setting is 'rendered a proper Class Book for very young pupils, by being divided into short distinct Sections, each exhibiting a completeness in itself', and to that end the four constituent parts were issued either bound together as here for 2s. 6d., or separately, 'strongly stitched', for 6d. each. From the late 1780s, Fenwick had associated with William Godwin and his circle. In 1797 Eliza Fenwick attended Mary Wollstonecraft, Godwinâ s first wife, at the birth of their daughter Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (later Shelley), and was one of the signatories on the babyâ s birth certificate. From November 1807 to early 1808 Fenwick was employed as a manager in the childrenâ s bookshop run by Godwin and his second wife, Mary Jane Godwin, and in the years that followed also wrote several works for the Godwinsâ publishing imprint, M. J. Godwin and Co. beginning with Lessons for Children in 1808. William St Clair (1937-2021), British scholar and senior civil servant, notable as the author of The Godwins and the Shelleys, The Biography of a Family (1989) and The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period (2004).
