Burnham wrote numerous cantatas, and poems for children due to her childhood experiences writing texts for her father, George Frederick Root's Cantatas.
She wrote her first novel NO GENTLEMEN in 1881, launching a very prolific career as a novelist who featured women characters and expressed previously unacceptable sentiments and themes.

In this novel a woman loves two men--one is her husband, the other, a former lover, is now her very significant friend.

Inner hinges cracked, but still holding and quite sturdy, some foxing to outer page edges, else very good in soft polished blue cloth with gilt embossed titles and borders to the front cover and to the spine; in a fine high-quality FACSIMILE dust jacket.
