1796 is the year I became the book you see before you.
I can convey no memory to you of the people that crafted me. The few people credited in my creation are author of the text, Priscilla Wakefield, and the names of the publishers, E. Newbery, Darton and Harvey, and Vernor and Hood, all of London, are each named here on my title page (pictured left).
Since I was published, many different people have been interested in me. At first, I was sold as a children's book. Later, I was collected by Linnaeus enthusiasts. More recently, my text has become of interest to scholars of women's history.
