As mentioned in Handbook For the Breakfast Table 1872

HATTIE AND NELLIE; Or For Better, For Worse. Published by Graves & Ellis, Boston, MA, 1872, 1st Edition, 312 pages.

Now the interesting thing about this book is the date of 1872 the year prior to handbook for the breakfast table. And the author is not known

Both books are American however but Mary Hooper did have American connections
