Notes Publication date tentative (probably between 1824 and 1840).
Pagination tentative ( I don't know how the four parts are divided between the two volumes, I just guessed I and II are together, and III and IV are together).
AAS notes:
"Rosamond, when we last saw her, in the days of 'The black bonnet,' 'The India cabinet,' and 'The microscope,' was about nine or ten years old. This sequel to her history comprises about three years, from ten to thirteen. Her biographer mentions this to prevent mistakes, and the ensure the advice, the entreaty, that this book may not be read at an earlier age."--To parents, v. 3, p. [3]-4, dated January 1821 and signed: M.E. [i.e., Maria Edgeworth].
