Sobre este artículo
The author initially asked no payment for the publication of her manuscript, but the "dreadful blunders" left uncorrected in early editions along with Murray's cavalier and contemptuous disregard of her concerns for the text eventually drove her to offer a revised version to a rival publisher. After some legal proceedings, Rundell was left with a £2000 settlement and immortal fame, but without the rights to her own book. A classic. 5'' x 3''. Original embossed olive cloth with gilt-lettered spine. 6 pages of publisher's advertisements bound as endpapers and fly leaves. Fold-out frontispiece. 376 pages. Early pencil name to verso of half title. Light wear and bumping, with minor tears to front and rear joints. Light chipping to frontispiece fore-edge. Faint foxing throughout.
