First published in 1837, this vintage book contains advice and tips for young women. Dealing with everything from being happy and conversing, to self-control and religion, this comprehensive handbook will appeal to those with an interest in nineteenth-century social convention, and it would be extremely useful for research purposes. Contents include: 'Address to the Guardians of Female Education', 'Value of Time', 'Religion', 'Knowledge', 'Industry', 'Domestic Employments', 'Health and Dress', 'Manners and Accomplishments', 'Sisterly Virtues', 'Books', 'Friendship', 'Cheerfulness', 'Conversation', 'Benevolence', 'Utility', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with the original text and images.
