First Edition. 12mo in sixes (147 x 95 mm), engraved frontispiece and pp, [4], vi, 209, [1], a couple of small stains on the title page, also with slight offsetting from frontispiece, original red roan gilt over marbled boards, spine cracking and quite weak, with a small loss to head of spine and front joint, the boards rubbed and worn at extremities, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, with binder?s ticket on front pastedown ?From Noble?s Juvenile Library Market Place, Boston? and ownership inscription reading ?Sophie Hopkins, affectionately presented by her Uncle and Aunt Smith, Boston, December 11th 1826? A charming book detailing eight nights gathered around the playroom fire, and the didactic stories with which the governess regaled her ?dear girls? The children send their governess a letter, asking for her permission to stay up a little later that evening, and the governess agrees and then goes to visit them. A wonderful aperture into young female education, the governess suggests that they all gather around the fire and explore various topics together. She then delves into geographical stories of Columbus, the Alps, Quicksilver (Mercury) mines in Australia, an experience of an Alpine family buried in an avalanche, the ascent of the peak of Tenerife? all a far cry from the cozy schoolroom setting. The governess weaves her pupils' own knowledge into the stories she tells so they can partake, telling stories about the Quicksilver mines because her very youngest student knows about valuable metals being hidden below the earth. One particularly lovely detail is the governess?s attitude, always answering her question with the same ?my love? or ?my dear? No questions are wrong questions, and the teacher is always honest and gentle in her response. The book concludes after the eight night of discussion - when she teaches them the history of ancient Britain ? and the governess?s hope that her ?beloved charge may profit from what they have just heard/ and learn justly to appreciate the many blessings which are poured around them? An engaging tale, complete with fascinating information (such as the Rochia family buried in the avalanche) but also politically minded subtext (such as the suffering of the slaves in the diamond mines in Brazil), demonstrate the author's abolitionist but also didactic mindset. It is a wonderful aperture into early girls? school stories, but also its depth of educational language redolent of the wider umbrella of educational texts. The author - who one might presume is not too dissimilar from the benevolent governess ? does not once belittle her students, but welcomes them into an adult discussion with pride. Darton G272.…
