Dedication.
[figure description] Dedication.[end figure description]
To the YOUNG LADIES of
AMERICA the following &longs;heets are affectionately
in&longs;cribed.
Convinced of the many advantages of
a good education, and the importance of
improving tho&longs;e advantages; or of counterbalancing
the want of them by exerting
the mental powers which nature has bestowed;
&longs;en&longs;ible, too, that the foundation
of a u&longs;eful and happy life mu&longs;t be laid in
youth, and that much depends on the early
infu&longs;ion of virtuous principles into the docile
mind, the author has employed a part
of her lei&longs;ure hours in collecting and arranging
her ideas on the &longs;ubject of female
deportment.
How far &longs;he has &longs;ucceeded in her design,
the voice of a candid public will
pronounce.
