Excerpt from The Works of Mrs. Chapone, Vol. 1 of 4: Containing I. Letters on the Improvement of the Mind; II. Miscellanies; III. Correspondence With Mr. Richardson; IV. Letters to Miss. Carter; V. Fugitive Pieces
Such language and such arguments as' these letters contain, can hardly fail to ex cite admiration, if not to afford considerable gratification in the perusal, when the rea der recollects that they come from the pen of a lady, who at the age of twenty-two, with very few of the slender advantages of the education even of that moment, had discernment to detect, and courage to com bat the errors of a work received with so general, nay, even enthusiastic approbation as the History of Clarissa Harlowe.
The matrimonial creed, with the other fugitive pieces, produced at different times, as they mark the versatility of her genius, and the playfulness of her fancy, were judg ed not unfit to form a part of this little compilation.
