ABOUT BOOK

I wish to have it distinctly understood, that I do not propose to give a complete manual of the social and moral duties of young women. Every one has his own way of looking at things, and I have mine. Some of the duties of young women have appeared to me to receive from other writers less attention than their comparative importance demands; and others-- especially those which are connected with the great subject of "temperance in all things"--I have believed to be treated, in several respects, erroneously.
