THE BRITISH CO-OPERATOR.

Among the numerous literary works now issuing from
the press is a publication entitled " The British Co-
operator." This work professes to be a record and re-
t•iuw of Co-operative and Entertaining Knowlege —a cha-
racter to which it has already established a fair claim by
the light which it throws on the principles of co-operation
in society. With the ladies it cannot fail to be a fa-
vourite, one of its most prominent features being a re-
cord of the exertions of Mrs. Wheeler, a lady of a strong
and enlightened mind, in support of the rights of women.
In this article the social condition of women is
ably examined, and their intellectual powers are vindi-
cated against the assumed superiority of men whose in-
justice denies them their fair share of education, and
limits their sphere of action within narrow and contracted
bounds. This system Mrs. Wheeler labours to prove is
a vicious system, originating in prejudice, ignorance, and
error. We regret we have only room this day for the
following extract :

RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
A LECTURE, BY MRS. WHEELER.

The second ground for disabilities is The pretended moral inca-
pacity of Woolen ; but the long list of illustrious names, drawn
from the records of every age, afford ample proof, that nature has
been quite impartial to the sexes on the score of intellect ! Yet
were it otherwise, the more inexcusable and base is the imposition
of fictitious restraints on women, in addition to those of nature.
Difference of education alone, and the impression of objects, which
surround us, under very different circumstances, produce the appa.
rent difference in the phrenological development of men and women.
All the researches of anatomy, have not yet been able to prove a
diffsrence in the brain of either. Both receive the same impressions,
arrange and preserve ideas, for memory and imagination ; judge,
compare, and analyze ; nor can indeed any difference be pointed
out, but, that the organs of women are generally smaller, but
equally fitted to the purposes for which they are intended.
lien we find es much the creature of circumstances as woman;
and, with some rare exceptions, there is little difference between man
and man, but that which education or the want of it effects. Un-
educated man is either a brute or a savage, stupid or ferocious, ac-
cording to the dullness, or activity, of his particular temperament.
What then should be thought of the wisdom and humanity of
!ay% which throw half the human race, women, as a prey to ap-
pease the savage fury of men, denied the humanizing Rights of
Etteectlion.

if, (says a French naturalist, M. Bory de St. Vincent, in hie
" Table of the Human Species,") we discover some men favoured
ty nature, with superior intelligence, we have a right to add also,
that ninety nine out of every hundred, which compose the species,
are not much superior to the Hottentot u to reason: "we have then
no ri;ht," he adds, " to assign to any particular country, or sex,
:ntcllntual capacity above the other, the whole of oar species is as
capable of improvement as any part of it; and have we, Europeans,
rot cause to blush, when we read that the Cat des, said to be the
Imst in the intellectual scale, of any tribe of men, are not divested
at generous feeling, and these savages roused to all their frenzy of
revenge against the whites, for their abuse of power, and fraudulent
ractires in traffic, with them, can always be treated with, when an
appeal is made to their natural equity. The right of the strongest
is not recognised with them, and no one is permitted to be his
own judge."

This ;saying much for human nature itself, but very little for
out beautiful system of civilization, in which I discover nothing
but the perfection of vice, that Is, the triumph of injustice
toughout !

But to retum to my subject : " one cannot," says the Count de
cgur in his work on Women, " reflect upon the heroic courage,
ability, and perseverance, displayed by Women, in she slap of
terror, which marked the progress of the French revolution, without
tnlingl of gratitude, respect, and admiration. There were no
Jaeger!' they did not brave, no fatigue they did not overcome, no
sacrifice they did not impose on themselves, to save and console,
to share captivity and even death, with the objects of their area.
tiont ; nor was the sympathy of these heroines confined to the nar-
row limits of family and friends, a vice hatefully prominent in our
own country, where women are most dependent and depressed.
What man can read the memoirs (written by herself in prison) of
the enlightened, the tender, the intrepid Madams Boland, wife of
the Dlinister of France, without emotions of deep humiliation at
