If A Woman Can Neither

Truth Is Strong, And Sometime Or Other Will Prevail.

For Certainly There Cannot Be A Higher Pleasure Than To Think That We Love And Are Beloved By The Most Amiable And Best Being.

Every One Knows, That The Mind Will Not Be Kept From Contemplating What It Loves In The Midst Of Crowds And Business. Hence Come Those Frequent Absences, So Observable In Conversation; For Whilst The Body Is Confined To Present Company, The Mind Is Flown To That Which It Delights In.

That Man Indeed Can Never Be Good At Heart, Who Is Full Of Himself And His Own Endowments.

Hitherto I Have Courted Truth With A Kind Of Romantick Passion, In Spite Of All Difficulties And Discouragements: For Knowledge Is Thought So Unnecessary An Accomplishment For A Woman, That Few Will Give Themselves The Trouble To Assist Us In The Attainment Of It.
