Printed by T. Green, Fredericksburg, Virginia
This edition was brought out by Mason Locke Weems and includes “what is common in the best Virginia Almanac.” Also included is a dissertation on love, courtship, and matrimony along with a discussion of beauty, calculated to disclose how the homely may become handsome and the handsome may become angelic. These qualities are exemplified in the accompanying history of Miss Delia D_____. Marginalia in an unknown hand notes weather conditions and changes in membership of the Virginia House of Delegates.
