: Amoranda, or the reformed coquette
J. R. R. Adams quotes at length from William Carleton's account (in his autobiography) of first reading Amoranda, or the reformed coquette, when young, "'the first thing in the shape of a novel that ever came into my hands. It was published as a pamphlet, but how I came by it I don't recollect' [rest of account devoted to retelling plot of story] ... "Carleton actually shed tears when he had finished it, out of sheer disappointment that there was no more."
