London: Routledge, Warnes, & Routledge, 1859. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition Thus. Originally published in three volumes (1803), this is "A New Edition, with Illustrations." The Preface, by husband Richard Lovell Edgeworth, promotes Maria's progressive ideas on popular education. An attractive mid-Victorian small octavo, with marbled covers and endpapers, leather tips, and a highly decorative leather spine stamped in gold. Clean text; 485 pages. One signature towards the midpoint stands a bit proud, due to a split. The covers are rubbed at the margins but the book remains attractive. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Ediution Thus. Half-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
