ΤΟ A YOUNG LADY, IN WHICH THE DUTIES AND CHARACTER OF WOMEN, CHIEFLY WITH A REFERENCE TO PREVAILING OPINIONS. BY MRS. WEST, AUTHOR OF LETTERS TO A YOUNG MAN, &c.

LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, AND ORME, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 1806. シ THESE LETTERS, ON THE DUTIES AND CHARACTER OF WOMEN, ARE (BY PERMISSION) APPROPRIATELY AND SUBMISSIVELY INSCRIBED TO The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty; WHOSE EXALTED CHARACTER INFORCES, BY AN EXAMPLE MORE POWERFUL THAN PRECEPT, THE STRICT PERFORMANCE OF EVERY DOMESTIC, MORAL, AND RELIGIOUS DUTY. WITH THE DEEPEST SENSE OF THE HONOUR OF THIS ILLUSTRIOUS PATRONAGE THE AUTHOR SUBSCRIBES HERSELF HER MAJESTY'S MOST DUTIFUL, AND MOST GRATEFULLY DEVOTED SERVANT, JANE WEST. |
