Book Description
Excerpt from Noble Deeds of Woman, or Examples of Female Courage and Virtue The pleasure experienced by the Author in perusing the scattered records of female excellence gave rise to the idea that an interesting selection might be made from them, and prove not only instructive but useful. The acknowledged superiority of example over precept con firmed this Opinion; and the ensuing narratives have been chosen as most suitable to the various conditions and trials of life. Woman, to whose fostering care the direction of infancy is intrusted, - to whom manhood is indebted for mental recreations and for consolation in difficulties, upon whom also man, in declining yea'rs, depends for solace and support, - too often betrays her incapacity to fulfil the important duties she is called upon to under take. When thus circumstanced, she frequently fails in the performance of a mother's tender obligations, and she not only loses the affections, but sinks in the estima tion, of her husband - or, immersed in the dissipations of society, she neglects to attend to those more sacred offices on which even her own happiness depends. To the just fulfilment of these, it is necessary she should think, feel, and act correctly; yet this cannot be expected, while the ornamental accomplishments, now cultivated with so much care, are allowed to supersede the more valuable acquirements. Painting, music, and dancing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
