Thank you for your effort, Nancy. Actually, the querier (I think I just may have just made up a word, queriest?) if I understood them correctly, was looking for historical background on the author and/or publisher. Sorry for the confusion. I found nothing through Google or the NYG&BS ProQuest databases on "Mrs. M. J. R. Hamilton". Perhaps a full first name would turn up more results.
