She also wrote social novels: one against slavery is said to have influenced Harriet Beecher Stowe, and she also wrote the first industrial novel, and two anti-Catholic novels, which used a Protestant position to examine self-making. The Blue Belles of England is a relatively scarce work, first published in Britain by Saunders and Otley, 1842, in three volumes. This continental edition by Baudry does not appear on Copac.
