The variety of literary amufements, which, when properly conducted, they contain, cannot fail to furnish fomething agreeable to every tafte, which may convey inftruction without the trouble of laborious ftudy. Whatever exercises the mind, tends to expand and invigorate its faculties, and that mental exercife which is required for the perusal of a Monthly Miscellany, will neither cause any great confumption of the time of the busy, nor exhaust the patience even of the idle.

The agreeable province which we have affumed to ourselves, is to compile one appropriated to the Ufe and Amusement of the FAIR SEX. From this, we would exclude the dry and lefs pleafing details of the B 2
