London: John Marshall and Co. No. 4 Aldermary Church Yard…, No date [circa 1785, but not after 1788]. vi, 7 – 106 pages [the last four being ad’s]. Illustrated throughout with 31 wood engravings. First edition. Possibly lacks a half-title; little shaken; wear to binding; but a good, clean copy of a particularly scarce work. 10 of the 31 poems are signed M.P., the pseudonym of Dorothy Kilner. The preface refers to a single author, but the unsigned poems may be by Mary Ann Kilner, the sister-in-law of Dorothy. The first poem refers to George Washington.
