All but the first title are from that series. Sophia Lee with "The Recess: A Tale of The Days Of Queen Elizabeth" 1840 was published by J. Cunningham. The other titles in bound order are; D.F. Haynes (Daniel Franco). "The Romance of the Castle". 1841.

This title here by her was published first in 1817. Frederick Schiller has a short story in English and is probably a 1st edition. D. L. Haynes wrote this single title, firmly attributed to him.

Store description
We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.…
