A beautiful, 19th century antique novel by Mrs. L.C. Tuthill, originally published in 1845, this must have been a very popular title because this is the 13th edition published in 1854. A wonderful addition to any antique book library.
About the Author...
Louisa Caroline Huggins Tuthill (1799-1879) was a 19th-century American children's book author. She was one of the most successful writers in this line, She was educated partly at New Haven and partly at Litchfield, Connecticut. The schools for young ladies in both of those towns at that time were celebrated for their excellence, and that in New Haven particularly comprehended a course of study equal in range, with the exception of Greek and the higher Mathematics, to the course pursued at the same time in Yale College. Being the youngest child of a wealthy and retired merchant, she enjoyed to the fullest extent the opportunities of education which these seminaries afforded, as well as that more general, but not less important element of education, the constant intercourse with people of refined taste and cultivated minds. Mrs. Tuthill wrote many articles and books including the first History of Architecture.
