An Account of the Lying-in Charity for Delivering Poor Married Women at Their Own Habitations. Instituted 1757
1773001572London: No Publisher 1773. 3 4-62pp. Contemporary full red morocco raised bands spine in six panels green morocco title label to second panel remaining panels with triple fillet frame enclosing a small flower covers with a dog tooth roll border enclosing a cottage roof style design with roundels stars small birds volutes and vases with leafy stems and small flower head tools gilt roll to edges and inner edges a.e.g. with combed marbled endpapers. Very minor wear to extremities generally quite bright and clean. Presumably bound for presentation to a donor. The charity was for the pregnant poor though it points out that is aimed at the "sober and industrious poor" page 5 and of course they would also have to have been married page 6. The work seems to have been issued several times presumably with updated lists of donors but the current unavailability of the ESTC makes this difficult to ascertain for sure. First Thus. Hardback. Very Good. 8vo. No Publisher Hardcover
