Early American edition of this perennial favorite of didactic children's literature by the English author Elizabeth Pinchard (fl. 1791-1820). The story is told chiefly through dialogue and centers on the children of the Wyndham family, the youngest of whom had lost her sight at a young age. Her vision is restored at the very end of the story by a London surgeon, who praises her for her "true sensibility" (p. 89).
