Emily Bathurst; or, at Home and Abroad
Preface
Preface.
The individuals to whom this little Book is addressed, form a large and influential class of the community. Its design is twofold,—to meet some of the objections which are constantly urged against undertakings in which every female ought to be interested, and to point out certain defects which are often visible in the social circle. If it should be instrumental in awakening in but one young lady a livelier sense of her duties and responsibilities, the writer will not consider her time and labour uselessly expended.
