Mary (Belson) Elliott (1794?-1870) was DartonÕs steadiest and most prolific author during the publisherÕs time at Holburn Hill, though very little is known about her life otherwise; her early works were published anonymously. The preface to her Innocent Poetry (1809) states that she and her sister ÒElizaÓ had an elderly, infirm…mother who they had to care for. It is possible that ÒElizaÓ was Elizabeth Belson, one of whose works was published by William Darton eight years later. The date of her marriage has been placed at 1819, but her husbandÕs identity has not been successfully established. It was initially thought that her spouse was London printer Edward Elliott; however, this has proven to be untrue when tested against the Census returns. Several of ElliotÕs works were reprinted in America and Darton eventually published French translations of some of her work, though she seems to have worked with no other English publisher than Darton and his associates. Precept and Example is a simple tale about three children during the summer holidays with a particular emphasis on their faults and the manner in which they overcome them. Twelvemo. 76 pp. Copper engraved frontispiece and woodcut tailpiece Original red roan over marbled boards, spine ruled and lettered in gilt. Binding extremities lightly rubbed, spine lightly toned. Slight offsetting from frontispiece, a few minor stains, leaves a bit browned. A very good copy. First edition of what seems to be the authorÕs first novel for children. Darton, H490(I). Moon, 273.
