12mo. Original boards, tan paper spine and printed paper label.

A novel featuring an unexpectedly awkward and plain heroine. Rachel triumphs over her silly but beautiful cousin Sophia to gain the affections of the hero, Mr. Tompkins. Interestingly, the novel ends before hero and heroine declare their undying devotion. We are told: 'time alone can discover in whose possession he left his heart; but it is expected his next visit to E------ will ascertain the fact'.
