[SIGNED]. 48mo (3 15/16" x 2 ½"); 16pp; stiff glazed navy wrapper, gilt stamped title decoratively framed on front; all edges gilt; author's inscription "Miss Price from the Author" on verso front wrapper; light crease at upper corner through all layers, a few scuffs to wrapper; near fine. Unrecorded.

A small religious tract-style chapbook that was written as a letter, beginning with "My Dear Children," and signed on the last page with the initials "W.W." This small book is signed by "the Author" on the verso of the front wrapper, and yet no clue has been found to who this might be.
