The first
edition of this work of fiction of a military family (48th Regiment of Foot) through
the Napoleonic Wars and post-wars period service in home and colonial postings by
Reverend Richard Cobbold (1797-1877) appears to have been published in three
volumes in 1847 and released again in 1853, with new and improved editions
circa 1855, but unable to determine the date of this Ward, Lock, and Tyler published
edition of Mary Anne Wellington, but presumably post-1855.
Rev. Richard Cobbold, Mary Anne Wellington, The Solder’s
Daughter, Wife, and Widow (London: Ward, Lock, and Tyler, [18??]).
