Religion Recommended to Youth: In a Series of Letters Addressed to a Young Lady : to which are Added Poems on Various OccasionsJ. Soule and T. Mason, 1819 - 220 páginas "Sensible that much of the frivolity discoverable in the manners and fashions of modern females, arises from an improper course of reading, the author has endeavoured, in the following little volume, to present the youth of her own sex a succedaneum to the fascinating page of romance, and the dangerous luxury of novels. The following letters were originally addressed to an affectionate young friend in New- England, whose kindness has proved a solace in many trials the author has been called to encounter. ... The poems found in this little volume, were chiefly written to abstract the mind of the author from painful recollections."--Preface, p. [iii]-vi, signed and dated at Mendon, New-York, Sept. 1815. |
