in s of the mind would be recom
nu i ilctl to females, by motives
iiclently strung to induce them to
make greater exertion in tlie caus^,j
And as virtue and intelligence ate
duly appieriated by those only, who
possess those qualities themselves,
surely a laudable and praise- worthy
ambition to attach men of that cha
racter, ought to influence the fair sex
to possess themselves of those at
tractions, which coinl>ineiI with theirl
personal cbairas, would make them
irresistible indeed, , . .
It would appear that human weak
ness, prejudice, and the nature of
the duties imposed on the sex by the
rna.tm?'Ls of society., unfortunately all
combine to prevent the proper culti
vate of their understandings. Thus
lint too frequently parents indulge]
the silly inclinations of youth, a?d
. the idle vanity of their own hearts,
by bestowing that time ind expense
upon the personal momplishmenis
of their children wbich ought to be
employed in training their minds to
