The History of Woman, Vol. 1 of 2

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Woman, Vol. 1 of 2: And Her Connexion, With Religion, Civilization, and Domestic Manners, From the Earliest Period Within a few weeks, this work has reached a second edition; and thus I have been afforded an opportunity of going carefully over the sheets, and making such corrections as, on reconsideration, have seemed desirable. These, however, have been purely verbal; and, in all essential respects, the book re mains wholly the same. The plan of the work has received the warm approval of the press, which has again awarded me a distinguished reception; and I cannot but express, in this place, how much I am gratified by its verdict.
