About this book
The True Life of Betty Ireland comes together with some account of her elder sister Blanch of Britain. The text says that Betty Ireland was a younger daughter by a second Venter, let at first to run wild in the Woods, cloathed with Skins and fed with Acorns. The text says Betty had one chance ever to make a separate fortune and be independent of her sister.
Little was done for Betty, and she did not thrive in the world to any purpose till she came under the care of a good orderly gentlewoman. A woman in the text had Clerks that could neither write or read and Book and Cash-keepers that could not count or cast up. The text calls her compliance ridiculous, saying she once had a lady to curry her horse and a fishmonger for a grass bailiff. A list of books names, among others, Paradise Lost: A Poem by John Milton and An Enquiry into the late Increase of Robbers by Henry Fielding.
