[Cavendish-Bradshaw (Mary Ann)], "Priscilla Parlante". Memoirs of Maria, Countess D'Alva, 2 vol., first edition, half-titles, engraved frontispieces designed by the author, offsetting, occasional browning, original boards, paper labels to spines, spines browned, uncut, [Garside, Raven and Schowerling 1808:36; Summers p.410], 8vo, J. Barfield, Wardour-Street, for William Miller, Albemarle-Street, 1808.

⁂ A good copy of a rare gothic novel in the original boards, COPAC lists the BL copy only. The frontispieces, apparently after designs by the author, give an indication of the gothic nature of the story - the first depicting a woman below a cliff next to a storming sea, the other a waterfall in a European setting.
