THE INTRODUCTION.
Great and Hluftrious characters are often form
ed by pending the memoirs of those, of either sex,
who have been eminently distinguished by bril
liant accomplishments and exalted virtue. The
retired situation ot JSeignora Ro=yein availed not
to conceal, from the world the graces and virtues
with which ihe was adorned. Pofiefled of every
personal and mental charm, her acquaintance was
fought by the lovers of moral beauty and refined
sentiments ; and her uncommon proficiency in sci-.
ence soon drew around her the Genii of the age.
With those at a distance the corresponded : and a
few years after the commencement of her retire
ment, [fuch was her increasing passion for know
ledge and improvement,] (he effected a yearly
mutual communication ot interesting intelligence
with the friends of virtue and feience/in the lour
quarters of the globe.
The following Sheets contain a valuable corres
pondence which (he maintained' with a mod be
loved relative and friend of h^r own sex; and
which the editor flatters himfelt will afford an a
^reeable entertainment to those readers whofa
mods are assimilated to bers, as well as an addi
tional aid to the growing cause of genuine virtue.
Ye Children of Benevolence and Love I—in this
age of wonders, firft favored of heaven for the
universal good,—with you She co-operates in those
divine labors on which Deity looks with the smiles
of eomplaifance ;—and with you She waits, in joy
ful expectation,to behold the felicity of every in
dividual of the human race as perfect and exalted
as was originally designed by the source of per
feftion and bliss!
