Author Description

Excerpt from Maternal Counsels to a Daughter: Designed to Aid Her in the Care of Her Health, the Improvement of Her Mind, and the Cultivation of Her Heart May she the Heaven sent gift receive, Life's dangerous balance to adjust! Not all that glitters, to believe! Nor all that darkens, to distrust!

Not less numerous, nor less deadly, are the perils which encompass her than those which environ her prototype.
