Online adoptions 2013: Printed books



Adopt a New Acquisition


Neither vain nor frothy wit


R.B. The unhappy princesses. London, 1710

Adopt for: $4,000



R. B. The Unhappy princesses. In two parts… London: 1710.

The author suggests that his stories about Queen Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Gray “are very Instructive and Serious; and possibly some young Persons may be inclin’d to read them, rather than the Productions of those vain and Frothy Wits, who fill the World with Senseless… Amusements, which tend only to corrupt the Mind….”
