Стр. 21 - O Woman ! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
Стр. 19 - How charming is divine Philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns.
Стр. 26 - WHAT highest prize hath woman won In science, or in art ? What mightiest work, by woman done, Boasts city, field, or mart ? " She hath no Raphael !" Painting saith ; " No Newton !" Learning cries ; " Show us her Steam-ship ! her Macbeth ! Her thought-won victories.
Стр. 26 - He honours her the more. Oh, not for wealth, or fame, or power, Hath man's meek angel striven, But, silent as the growing flower, To make of earth a heaven ! And in her garden of the sun Heaven's brightest rose shall bloom ; For woman's best is unbegun ! Her advent yet to come ! BRITISH SUBJUGATION OF INDIA.

Good principles, the seed of future power; good habits the form of future...
Стр. 21 - Nothing tends so much to bring literature and science, in respect to female ed20 ucation, into disrepute, as the possession of these without the knowledge of life as it is, or the ability wisely to take advantage of circumstances and meet the oft recurring demands of society. It is one of the most important parts of education to attain the power of judging as by instinct of the true, the right, the pure, the appropriate, the profitable. The mind should possess a judgment like a flaming...
Стр. 21 - The mind should possess a judgment like a flaming two edged sword, turning every way to prevent the entrance of evil into your own soul and oblige others to recognize its power. — This, however, is no gift of the schools. It must be gained fully in actual life, amidst the conflicting elements of society. (2.) This judgment thus matured should then be sustained by firmness of purpose. Decision of character is not an appropriate attribute of a genuine man alone — it gives consistency and strength...
Стр. 21 - ... (3.) Refinement of manners. True refinement has its source in the heart, and its deepest fountain is genuine religious faith. This you have been taught to seek as above all things most valuable. But the manifestation of those feelings, in any easy address that proclaims the desire to communicate happiness, is usually an acquisition of society it21 self.
Стр. 16 - She occupies, and is destined to occupy a two-fold relationone to the household^ the other to society* These relations are in reality closely connected, however much they may be generally separated. Her relation to the household is first in importance, and if rightly filled, she can with a true independence take her appropriate position in society.
