¶Loeber E33; 'A sequel to 'Harry and Lucy' from The Continuation of early Lessons' (1814). That work was itself a continuation of Practical Education: or, the History of Harry and Lucy, a work started in 1780 by Edgeworth's father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, but left incomplete. It consists of a series of instructive conversations, wherein inquisitive children Harry and Lucy ask searching questions of their oracle-like parents.
