Sarah Stickney Ellis (1799 1872) was a Quaker turned Congregationalist who was the author of numerous books, mostly written about women's role(s) in society. Particularly well-known are The Wives of England, The Women of England, The Mothers of England, and The Daughters of England, also her more directly educational works such as Rawdon House and Education of the Heart: Women's Best Work.

The front inner hinge of volume III is very slightly strained, but still good and firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally clean with slight browning to the page edges and scattered foxing to the plates. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SET1-C-4
