Pamela: or, Virtue rewarded.
Subtitle: In a series of familiar letters from a beautiful young damsel, to her parents. : Now first published in order to cultivate the principles of virtue and religion in the minds of the youth of both sexes. A narrative which has its foundation in truth and nature; and at the same time that it agreeably entertains, by a variety of curious and affecting incidents, is intirely divested of all those images which in too many pieces, calculated for amusement only, tend to inflame the minds they should instruct
