Hardcover
(Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Dec. 31, 1973)
The progressive eighteenth century educationist, Mrs. Thomas Slack, wrote under the name of A. or Ann Fisher. Her selections, largely drawn form the essay-serial, included as well anonymous pieces, probably written by the compiler herself. The Pleasing Instructor, first published in 1756, remained in print for seventy-five years and was widely imitated.
