About this Item

xii, 204, [8] pp (including Index). 8vo. "Burdett-Coutts spent the majority of her wealth on scholarships, endowments, and a wide range of philanthropic causes. One of her earliest philanthropic acts was to co-found (with Charles Dickens) a home for young women who had 'turned to a life of immorality', including theft and prostitution. The home was known as Urania Cottage." [Wiki]. The volume contains many hitherto unpublished letters to Burdett-Coutts, which gives one a good flavor of Dickens rather sympathetic nature for those less fortunate. Uncommon in jacket. VG+ (top edge dusty/offset to eps)/Abt VG (some edgewear/chipping @ hd & tail of spine). Black cloth binding with gilt stamped lettering. Dust jacket.
