LC2-19-25LUB ADVERTISEMENT. THESE Lectures were written for the particular Ufe of a School for Female Tuition; and were read to the Pupils on Sunday Evenings. Several judicious Writers, particularly. Dr. PRIESTLEY and Dr. Knox, on the Subject of Education, have recommended to thofe, who have the Management of Schools, to devote a part of the Sabbath to the religious and moral Edification of the Children intrufted to their Care. A Series of plain and familiar Difcourfes would, in their Opinion, much contribute to this End. Sanctioned by these respectable Authorities, the Author was induced to compofe a Course of Lectures (from which the following are felected) that might principally apply 3 to the Female Sex, with Refpect to Manners: For though there are some Duties of a general Nature, yet there. are others, which may be strictly called feminine. The Attention that was paid to them, during the Time of Delivery, by thofe, for whofe Benefit they were defigned, has convinced the Author of the Efficacy of this Mode of Inftruction; and it having been fuggefted to him, that the Introduction of them into Schools might, in fome measure, be ufeful, and that the younger Part of the Female Sex might derive an Advantage from perufing them, when their Education was finished, he has been prevailed on to commit them to the Prefs. As. an Elementary Work, therefore, it is configned to the Public, who have been difpofed to receive favourably fuch Books as have been profeffedly written for the moral Improvement of the rifing Generation.
