(Burnham, Catherine Lydia)
Can and Can't Series: "I Can;" or, Charlie's Motto
Cloth 12mo; (2), 197, 6pp. With four plates and ornamental flourishes throughout, including red ruling on the series title page. Good only; extremities rubbed with fraying at corners and balding to the title on the sunned spine. PO signature and contemporary gift inscription to prelims, moderate soil to contents.
The first of three titles in the series, followed by I'll Try; or, Sensible Daisy and I Can't; or, Nelly and Lucy. The series was republished by Ward & Drummond in 1878-1879, though re-ordered so I'll Try... was the last title, a more optimistic conclusion. This edition scarce, in handsome publisher's binding.
