Humility and Innocence

Stacey Grimaldi, The Toilet, London, 1821.

The original issue of a book form that was popular in England and then republished in the United States in the 1820s.
A set of virtues is taught using illustrations of items found on a lady's dressing table (the "toilet" of the title), each revealed with the lift of a delicate flap. This copy was the property of the author.

"The silence often of pure Innocence,
"Persuades, when speaking fails."

"Innocence shall make
"False accusation blush, and tyranny
"Tremble at patience."]
