Стр. 4 - The work is written by a lady of considerable learning, indefatigable industry, and careful judgment.

Стр. 10 - What you do, Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet, I'd have you do it ever: when you sing, I'd have you buy and sell so ; so give alms ; Pray so; and for the ordering your affairs, To sing them too. When you do dance, I wish you A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do Nothing but that ; move still, still so, and own No other function.
Стр. 11 - Second Edition, 1 volume, post 8vo, with Portrait, 10s. 6d. bound. " We have perused this work with extreme interest. It is a portrait of Talleyrand drawn by his own hand." — Morning Post.
