The text-block to volume two is a little loose with pages 3 to 22 loose and closed tears to page 2. A few page corners have been creased by the corners while the frontispiece of volume one remains uncut. The pages are very clean throughout despite the very occasional spot of foxing. Volume one, pp. xii + . 475. Volume two, pp. 498 + 2. Overall a good set. Written under her Pseudonym of Mrs Markham, Elizabeth Penrose gained celebrity writing books for the young.
