"The windmill is of especial interest to the artist, the cartographer, the engineer and the social historian, and is a cherished landmark to the lover of the English scene. Although this unusual and very comprehensive book covers the windmills of Surrey and Inner London, interest is by no means confined to these areas. The picture presented is representative of most of the windmills of England."

Destiny; Or, The Chief's Daughter.
Edinburgh: Printed for Robert Cadell, 1831. In Three Volumes. First edition. 8vo., cont. half leather, raised bands, labels, 337, 407, 399 pp. Upper cover of volume one detached, o/w a very good copy.
Susan E. Ferrier (1782-1854) Scottish novelist was born in Edinburgh, the youngest of ten children. Her father through his position as the Principal Clerk was well acquainted with the prominent members of the literary scene. Susan Ferrier, a fine French scholar, became acquainted with her fathers friends and finally decided to write a novel in co-operation with Miss Clavering. The novel, "Marriage" was written in 1816 but not published until 1818. Encouraged by its success, Ferrier continued to write, producing "Uncle Adam," "The Inheritance," and finally the above title in 1831. Her work showed "keen powers of observation and were brightly and clearly written. They were chiefly satirical sketches of character in the upper classes of Scottish life." A contemporary critic wrote, "Ferrier, Austen, Edgeworth, have all given portraits of real society far superior to anything man, vain man, has produced of the like nature." (DNB)
