She also published under pseudonyms such as Mary Godolphin....Aikin was interested in early education, and as such published several works to assist young readers: Poetry for Children: Consisting of Short Pieces to be Committed to Memory (1801), Juvenile Correspondence or Letters, Designed as Examples of the Epistolary Style, for Children of Both Sexes (1811), An English Lesson Book, for the Junior Classes (1828), and The Acts of Life: of Providing Food, of Providing Clothing, of Providing Shelter (1858).

This book is 96 pages and originally published in 1867. This book was published by George Routledge and Sons, Limited. This book is in poor vintage condition, binding is good, but parts of the front and back cover are missing, some foxing, marks and school library writing on the inside covers (please see photographs).
