First Edition.The first book by Frances Wright (later D'Arusmont). Wright began writing the play in Scotland, but did not publish it until she moved to the United States in 1818.

Wright's sentiments were with social reform and progressive movements, and she became an influential abolitionist and promoter of feminist causes.8vo.
