THE present volume is a modified reprint of one of the most recent additions to that class of instructive and admonitory books which now forms so marked a feature in the popular literature of America. The original work entered more fully into details, and contained more specific directions upon certain points of practice, than would be deemed necessary in this country; such passages have of course been omitted, and the extent of the original book has thereby been advantageously reduced. With these exceptions, the work is now submitted for the approbation of the British public, in the form and language in which it was put forth by its experienced, talented, and amiable authoress.
