The second edition of Volumes 1. and 2. in which Harriet Lee was assisted by her sister Sophia, who authored the second volume, and which first appeared in 1797-8. The final three volumes did not appear until 1805. Octavo. xxiii,396 pp.; [ii],564 pp. Disbound: Bookblocks are whole, with worn leather backs. However, volume 1. lacks boards, and volume 2. has detached boards. A 2 cm. strip has been removed at the top of the first two leaves of volume 1. and from the top of the first text leaf in volume 2.
