BRUNTON (Mary): - Discipline: A Novel. To which is prefixed, A Memoir of the Life and Writings of the Author, including Extracts from her Correspondence.

London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley..., 1832. 12mo, 163 x 97 mms., pp. [ii], [3] 4 - 476, contemporary half calf, gilt spine, black leather label, marbled boards; lacking engraved title-page, binding a bit worn, but a good copy. The Orkney-born novelist Mary Brunton [née Balfour] (1778–1818) published her first novel, Self Control, in 1811; Discipline was published in 1814, and within two years had achieved three editions. In a rather gushing tribute to Brunton shortly after her death, The Scots Magazine devoted several pages to both Self-Conrol and Discipline. While it concluded that the latter was inferior to the former, the author, E. E., asserts, "Neither of them shews much originality either of plot or incident; but the interweaving of engaging narrative, with a display of the effects of religious principle, will make them long regarded as among the best books of amusement which can safely be put into the hands of the young."
