The priority of Fairburn is evidenced by his titles carrying a sequence of dates from 1823, whereas the four titles of Cumberland are dated on completion in 1828 .The Fairburn venture must have been unsuccessful, for sets carrying his imprints are very unusual, and examples of the three printed titles definitely rare.

In 1867 she married the statesman, academic and economist Henry Fawcett. Millicent wrote on women’s education, women’s suffrage, and economics, as well as two novels. She was co-founder of Newnham College in 1875, and served on its council. She was a committee member of the London National Society for Women’s Suffrage from 1867, and spoke and lectured on women’s issues and other political subjects in the 1870s. She emerged as the women’s suffrage movement’s leader after the death of Lydia Ernestine Becker in 1890.Unlike Becker, with whom Darwin occasionally corresponded between 1863 and 1877, Millicent Fawcett never seems to have met or corresponded with Darwin himself, though she and her husband Henry did have contact with Darwin’s second son, George. Millicent was a committed disciple of John Stuart Mill, a keen supporter of women’s suffrage, while the arch-conservative Darwin has traditionally not been recognised as a promoter of women’s rights. This view has softened in recent years and certainly Millicent believed Darwin was an ally and named him as a supporter:‘… This objection, that the notion of women suffrage is monstrous and absurd and deserves only to be treated as a joke, is one which is slowly dying a natural death. You still hear of it in remote country districts, but it has received its death blow from the names of the many very eminent persons who are the warm advocates of women’s suffrage. Perhaps I need only mention such names as Mr Mill, Canon Kingsley, Mr Darwin, Professor Huxley and Professor Maurice to remind you that women’s suffrage is advocated by men occupying the highest ranks in philosophy, science and literature’, (from ‘A Lecture Delivered at the New Hall, Tavistock, 11 March 1871’, published in Melissa Terras & Elizabeth Crawford (editors), Millicent Garrett Fawcett: Selected Writings, (UCL Press, 2022), p. 53.)Freeman 376a; Norman 594; cf.
