"It has been the general sentiment that the style in which these Tales are written, is not so precisely adapted for the amusement of children of mere children, as for an acceptable and improving present to young ladies advancing to the state of womanhood. They therefore now offer to the public an edition prepared with suitable elegance. ..."--Advertisement, v. 1, p. [5].
By Charles and Mary Lamb.
Vol. 1: 283, [1] p., [1] leaf of plates. Last page blank.
Metal-engraved portrait of "Shakespear", frontispiece, v. 1, signed: Zoust pinxit. Edwin sc.
