THE INTRODUCTION.
Great and illustrious characters are often form
ed by perilling the memoirs of those, of either sex,
who have been eminently distinguished by bril
liant accomplishments and exalted virtue. The
retired filiation of Seignora Ro—vein availed not
to conceal from the world the graces and virtues
with which the was adorned. Poffefled of every
personal and mental charm, her acquaintance was
fought by the lovers of moral beauty and refined
sentiments ; and her uncommon proficiency in fei
ence soon drew around her the Genii of the age.
With those at a diflance the corresponded : and a
few years after the commencement of her retire
ment, [fuch was her increasing passion for know
ledge and improvement,] she 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 she maintained with a moll be
loved relative and friend of her own sex; and
which the editor flatters liimfelt will afford ah a
greeable entertainment to those readers whole
winds are aflimilated to hers, as well as an addi
tional aid to the growing cause of genuine virtue.
Ye Children of Benevolence and Love !—in this
age @f wonders, firft favored of heaven for the
universal good,—-with you fl,e co-operates in those
divine labors on which Deity looks with the (miles
of eomplaifr.'ice ; —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
fection and blils !

the offensive smell of burning Rags Dr. Frank
lin used to fay, that a penny saved was two pence
earned ; indeed, he said many good things : He
often told his female friends, that " a dilfigent &
frugal woman always had a large fhift" That
“ if you would be wealthy, think of saving as
well a& getting"—And that
. " Many estates are spent in the getting,
Since women for tea forfook spinning and knitting,
And men for their punch forfook hewing and fpiitting.”
So, without delay prepare you bags,
And take some care to save your RAGS,

encouragement will begiven, inquire of the printers.
