Publication details: Norwich: Booth and Wright,1814.
Rare Book
Very scarce little conduct manual, printed in Norwich, inscribed by the author.This volume serves a dual purpose, teaching the French language and moral rectitude in one. The text takes the form of a dialogue, posing various philosophical and moral questions. Its author, Emilie de Rouillon, was the headmistress of a girl's boarding school in Norwich, hence the imprint, and has inscribed the present work to her friend, a Mrs. F. Flavell. Rouillon was also the author of The Tourist's French Companion (1844).Very scarce; WorldCat lists the book but records no copies.
the odd spot but else a very clean copy, inscribed by the author to the half title; pp. [4], iv, 99, [3] 12mo; with a half title and terminal blank, errata glued to rear pastedown; contemporary marbled boards, black leather backstrip ruled gilt; hinges and spine ends a little worn, as are the corners, but a good copy.
