Serious Hours of a Young Lady
Excerpt
A celebrated author has justly remarked that Christian women
can,
like the guardian angels, invisibly govern the world; and the
author
of the “ Serious Hours of a Young Lady” has very
appropriately
made this truth the basis of his book, since the object that he
had
in view in writing it was to point out the important role that
woman
plays in society, and to give the young girl such instructions
as
will enable her, in due time, to discharge, in a worthy manner,
the
duties of her calling. In doing this he has given evidence of
very
elevated views and of a profound knowledge of the human
heart. The
book is a tissue of practical counsels, couched in the clearest
and
most delicate terms.
