"Printed by Strahan and Spottiswoode"--title page verso.
First edition of a novel by Mary Jane Mackenzie (active 1820s) whose interests appear to have been principally religious - her other works include lectures on New Testament parables. Apart from Private Life (1829), this seems to be her only other novel. There was a second edition the following year, and a Boston edition also in 1821.
