So far as we have had time to examine this work
we are inclined to think it one of fair degree Of
literary merit, and well fitted todisseminate among
the women of our country Just views Of their social
relations and of the responsibilities under which
they are placed. The authoress is most favorably
known to the public from previous works of the
same general character which have secured the
appreciation of men eminent for piety and learning
aud acquired high degree of popularity among
| those for whose use they were directly intended
The condition of Woman at various periods of the
worlds history is clearly traced in the first volume
while the second embraces more particularly dis

the principles of the work are eminenty and scrl-
pulously those of the Bible. The book can scarce
ly fail to be widely read and as generally useful.
