FIRST EDITION, dedicated to Talleyrand, of the first great feminist treatise enjoining 'women to endeavour to acquire strength, both of mind of body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of statement, and refinement of taste, are almost synonimous [sic] with epithets of weakness'.
