man Suffrage; Its folly and ineXpedency. By L. z.
Brockett M. d. Hartford; Published by l.. Stebbins
This is one of the books which have been put forth
to meet the demand for discussion and information
created by the prominence recently given to ''thc
woman question" As will be perceived by the
title, its scope is very wde-but we are free to say
that, wide it is the treatment Of each department
is surprisingly exhaustive, considering that it
is all comprehended in less than $50 pages In the
MAN, we like the work, and think its general cir
culation will be productive of good not only in
directing Alright the unframed energies and aspira-
tons of those who are seeking employmcnt-but in
placing in its true light the ridiculous doctrine of
woman suffrage and woman office holding.
We have long believed in the justice and neccssi-
ty of employing women in the lighter OCCUPATIONS
Of e-that clerks, cashiers telegraph operators,
ype-seters copyists, &C., they can discharge their
duties with profit and satisfaction Not all of them
are fitted for these occupations, any more than all
men are-but a fair proportion will be found 50.
some OF the female composltorS that we have en-
ployed have been among the most valuable hands
we ever had-others We're mere laundering chatter
boxes not worth the room they occupied There
are ladies regularly employed as writers for some
of the leading papers Of Maine, whose contributions
arc marked and interesting features of the pubca-
tions-in which they appear. There is not city or
large town in Maine which is without its example
of woman's success in the lighter departments of
trade.
The author takes strong ground against female
suffrage, and justly so in our opinion for the rea-
sons that the associations communicating to the
purity and yiolaiyc of the modesty with which
woman should be invested, and can be only evil in
its fruits. Some ludicrous engralngs of the posi-
tons into which a part in politics would force wo-
man are given.
The work is sold by agents only.
