The Modern Griselda. A Tale by Miss Edgeworth, 1805

A very smart copy of this novella by Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849), Anglo-Irish novelist of adults and children's literature. The book has been professionally rebound in green cloth, and presents the book beautifully.

The Modern Griselda. A Tale by Miss Edgeworth (Maria Edgeworth). The Second Edition, Corrected.

Printed for J. Johnson, London, 1805. Second edition. First published the previous year, in 1804.

A near fine hardback volume which has been bound in a later green cloth, with gilt title to spine. Binding is crisp and clean, and everything is soundly bound. The Book is bound with white card endpapers. Previous owner's signature and ink stamp of 'Eglantine K. Balfour'.

Text is very good throughout - bright and clear, with some very occasional small marginal nibbles and minor age spots/light corner crease. Text block edges have some dust toning. Overall, a very appealing novella, nicely rebound.
