" THE ENGLISH GENTLEWOMAN."

In her former work, intended for the preparation of young
ladies for society, the author enforced in the most strenuous manner,
the imperative necessity of cultivating the mind, and of forming the
habits. The present volume is calculated to show In what way the
previous efforts are likely to bear upon the happiness of a married
life.
