Hardcover. London, T. Carnan and F. Newbery, 4th Ed., 1778, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, calf binding with covers detached, 262 pages, engraved frontispiece (depicting Millenium Hall). A 1762 novel by Sarah Scott. It was Scott?'s most significant novel, popular enough to go into four editions very early into its publication. Interest has revived in the 21st century among feminist literary scholars. Elizabeth Montague, Sarah Scott?s sisters, had become a leader of the bluestockings, a coterie of reform-minded individuals. Hall is a fictional embodiment of bluestockings ideals. The book was a best seller when it first appeared in 1762, running through four editions by 1778. Frontispiece detached but all text pages still firmly bound and clean. A candidate for rebinding.
