The following Criticisms on this Volume have appeared in the
Reviews :
very meritorious and excellent little work, the
Mn.oll of which aar equally entitled to oil. worn
The subjects of these Letters are-1. .1‘ he reel-

and littemperanc2.---2. An excelleht Essay oir the Reverence

ter, ant the vast difference between them —ll. On Treatment
of the emir, particularly of Beggars —6. On Single Lacher,
•tilgaily celled Old Maids, reconinseeding such to be treated
with reseect, and not with ridir. tole. Tha sulclusirre consists
ut general maxims fur the regulation of female conduct, con-
sisting of the Observance of the Sabbath, Frugality, Charity,
ai.d Simplicity. We recommend this little volume to the
serious attention of young persons of both sexes, and iltiok
the Author deserves the encouragement and the gratitude ut all
parents and guardians of youth. The style is simple, yet ha-
pressive ; the arguments familiar, but urn trite; and the sub-
jeers success uliy discoursed, end lia,ipily chosen —British
Critic, for November, 1805.
ss Under this singular title, are comprised some shrewd and
useful observations on the relative conduf of patents and chil-
dren; the fashionable dissipation of young men, who have
beenspieusly educated ; the respect due to aged persons; chute
women, and women of character; on the poor in general; end
on single wernici. To Use latter two Clos>es, the fair very
though apparently allied to neither, Is in every respect very
charitably chimed.
" In plod that a devolving person may be reduced even to
beg in the streets, she relates a very pleasing and pa•heta: story;
which we should gladly etc tract u a specimen of her manner,
if our limit- admitted. No part of this short table of con-
tents, probably, may excite the curiosity of our readers so
much as the distinction between the chaste women and women
of character.
" The pining and the old, the rich and the poor, may derive
many useful hints teem this little volume. The mile Ss
way,
familiar, and pointed; but it betrays, in some inerances,* waisyt
et conertness, that will render &suable the revircei of a literary
friend, in arty future production of the same author. We hope
that she will not remit her betievolent efforts fur the moral
advantage of the public.
" The tide is the most exceptionable pelt of her present vo•
lume. The maxims which she designs to inculcate, though
too litt;e adopted to modern pracuce, are as much so, we ap-
prehend, as they were a century ago. Nu period of authentic
history affords touch ground to boast of the moral purity of our
ancestors Religious ceremonials are, inded, leaf Observed
now, than formerly, both by the great vulgar, and the small
but this may be attributed to a growing discovery of the incom-
patibility of a religious protium's with %vicious conduct, which
leads some to reject the belief of Christiamty, and other to di-
vest themselves of its appearaoce. The rising generation enjoy
greater advantages for mental instruction than their predeces-
sors; and we hope that the small volume before us will concur
with many other publications, to impreu their minds with
proper seutimentsof Christian murality.”—Eclactic Re,i..w, for
February, 1806. .
