Rare Book
The imprint is false: probably printed in Paris.' Light summer reading for ladies: or, The history of Lady Lucy Fenton' was published in three volumes in 1768, but is not recorded in ESTC: COPAC records 2 copies, BL and Bodleian. It was favourably, and lengthily, reviewed in The Critical Review, which concluded that 'continens nihil repugnans bonis moribus, but, on the contrary, it may be a preservative against female levity and dissipation.' There are 2 editions in French in ESTC, the present (2 copies in Oxford), and 1 of 1769 (BL and Oxford only).
