[WALKER, Mary, Lady (1736-1822)]. Letters from the Duchess de Crui and Others, on Subjects Moral and Entertaining, Wherein the Character of the Female Sex, with Their Rank, Importance, and Consequence, is Stated, and Their Relative Duties in Life are enforced. By a Lady. London: printed for Robson, 1776. 5 volumes, 8vo (157 x 100mm). Half titles in vols. II - V (occasional very light spotting and staining). Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, spines gilt with red morocco lettering-pieces (boards rubbed). Provenance: Anne Brodie (old signatures to titles of vols. II - V). FIRST EDITION of this epistolary novel. According to the author, the original letters "were written in her nursery, surrounded by her children, for whose use only they were originally intended. Her friends wished her to commit them to the press; but the dread of such an undertaking, the knowledge of the world, and of herself, prevented her compliance, till, being further importuned, she acquiesced, with this difference, that she had given them another dress, because few books are read but romances, by the juvenile part of mankind, who are too apt to neglect religious and moral instructions, if they do not appear in the alluring garb of amusement" (from To the Public).
