Subtitle: or, The mysterious separation of Hugh Doherty, Esq. and Ann his wife
By: By H.D. Esq
Publisher: Printed by G. Sidney
Published: 1807
Place of publication: London
Language: eng
Number of pages: 223
Description: Though listed in Block's English Novel and easily mistaken for fiction, The Discovery is an autobiographical account of the disasterous marriage of the author to Ann Doherty, née Holmes, later a minor novelist. A projected second volume was never published.
Notes: The author projected a second volume which was never published.

Not a work of fiction although listed as such in A. Block's English novel, 1750-1850.

Owing to a misprint, the author is identified at the end of the preface as "Hugh Doherty, half-pay, late 23d Lt. Dragoons," and is so identified in BM. He appears in the Army lists of the period as a cornet with 29th Light Dragoons.

Apparently no more published, although a second volume is promised at the end of this one.

An autobiographical account of the author's marital problems & imprisonment for debt.
