Description: Advertisement for this book, on p. [207]: In his introduction, the author says "Right modes of thinking are the basis of all correct action. This is just as true of one sex as the other. Although man has the power of abstract thought, and the faculty of reasoning, in a higher degree than woman, yet woman is none the less a rational being, and must, in all the various relations in life, come under the guidance of right reason."
