[While The Token ceased publication with the volume for 1842, the title was sold and appears on at least one book published by Leavitt & Allen, who published, republished, and cobbled together works for children and adults. The book’s information is included here to make the identification of this volume easier & because—frankly—it’s bizarre and interesting.]

The book seems to be reprint of a work published in the U. S. in 1838: Woman as She Should Be, by Hubbard Winslow, and Woman, in Her Social and Domestic Character, by Elizabeth Sandford [Mrs. John Sandford]. Sandford’s work was originally published in England in 1831 and was reprinted alone in the U. S. in 1833 (Boston: Leonard C. Bowles). Leavitt & Allen “prettified” the text with engravings and a surpassingly tawdry cover.
