London: Printed by and for William Darton, Jun. 1815 First edition. Original black roan-backed drab boards, gilt flat spine. Twelvemo. One engraved plate Several gatherings sprung or partially sprung, but a very good, tight copy. The orphan Fanny's character," as Osborne notes, "exemplified the precept, 'amiable manners and a well-regulated mind, are the only valuable ornaments.'" The Darton catalogue at the end is quite lenghy, listing ninety-five numbered items under books, penmanship, cards, and games, and there follow sections for dissected and whole sheet maps, dissected puzzles, and a concluding entry for "School Books" which concludes "*** A Quantity of Damaged Books to be Sold Cheap.

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
