Quarter Leather. Zustand: Good. no date, perhaps mid 1830s. Most likely appeared in an earlier London edition around 1828, as The Stolen Boy. Quarter leather with blue paper covered boards. Approximately 3 by 2 3/8 inches. Page edges gilt. 63, [1], 64 pp. With 10 full-page wood engravings, including frontispieces. The first 63 pages comprise "Little Manuel," purporting to tell the true story of a young Spanish immigrant to Texas who was kidnapped by Native Americans (Comanches), and perhaps could be considered to fall into the "Indian Captivity Narrative" genre. Illustrated with 6 engravings. The last 64 pages contain a poem to a birthday boy by (Felicia) Hemans; one page of "Lines to a Young Lady; and, "The Travelling Tin-Man: An American Story" by Eliza Leslie. This appears to be a moral tale for children. The book finishes with another short piece by Hofland, "The Deserted Villagers; or, the Confiding Boy." Eliza Leslie was perhaps best known as a cookbook author in the 19th century, although she did write fiction and nonfiction. Barbara Wreaks Hoole Hofland was an English author, primarily writing moral or instructive tales. Given this, it is very possible Little Manuel was written as a moral tale. GOOD condition. Leather rather scuffed along the spine and hinges, with moderate to heavy scuffing to the extremities. Small area of faint staining to the rear cover. Text block toned, with scattered foxing and soiling.…

Bookplate of Mary Oates to front pastedown, with her husband George Oates (1789-1827) appearing in the subscriber's list, possibly on her behalf. A scarce collection of poetry by the writer Barbara Hoole Hofland, who supported herself and founded a school with funds from her publications, OCLC documents only 2 copies in libraries (BL and NLS). It is the only copy on the market. "In forty years of writing, Barbara Hoole Hofland produced nearly seventy titles.They include books for children or young adults and adult novels, with some poems, plays, guidebooks, and handbooks on artistic topics rounding out her bibliography. More than 300,000 copies of her books were sold in Britain and as many, proportionately to population, in the U.S." (Orlando Project). Her career began of necessity. Having married the merchant T. Bradford Hoole, she was shortly after widowed and left to support herself. It was during this period that Poems was published, with a staggering list of 2,000 subscribers including George Oates (who purchased the present copy). Funds from this work, which emphasizes female experiences and interiority, made it possible for her to launch and maintain a boarding school at Harrogate, where she could make education accessible to girls. On her marriage to artist Thomas Hofland, she moved from Sheffield to London, where she settled into a career as a full time writer. "Though many of her titles fall naturally into groups, [focusing] on family relationships (notably widows as struggling, successful single mothers).she always varied her forumulas. Her books for the adult market were independent in their attitudes, expressing an original and thinking mind" (Orlando Project). This early work reveals Hofland finding her creative voice, which ultimately did not shy away from or diminish the value of how women perceive experiences from the domestic to the global. While some poems address the loss of friends, advice to young men and women, or the hopes of a widow for her daughter, others consider how war and politics unsettle and affect women.…
