The Siege of La Rochelle or Misfortune and Conscience. In two volumes. Vol. I [-II].

Bookseller Notes

The translator begins her preface (which is on an inserted leaf): 'The constant kindness with which for the last thirty years my works have been regarded by the public, and especially the favourable reception which it has deigned to give to this production of my pen, might have authorised me in not making in not making any alteration in this edition', and goes on to outline the changes. However we have not been able to locate any earlier edition. Nor have we been able to ascertain much about 'Miss Webb' (as she appears on the title-page). That she was connected with Oxford or Oxfordshire is obvious from the dedication to the county's MP, and the preponderance of Oxfordshire addresses for the subscribers. Otherwise we have drawn a blank. BL and Bodleian only in COPAC and WorldCat.
