Woman's superior excellence over man: or, A Reply to the Author of a late Treatise, entitled, Man superior to Woman. In which, the excessive weakness of that Gentleman's Answer to Woman not inferior to Man is exposed; with a plain Demonstration of Woman's natural Right even to Superiority over the Men in Head and Heart; proving their Minds as much more beautiful than the Men's as their Bodies are, and that, had they the same Advantages of Education, they would excel them as much in Sense as they do in Virtue. The whole interspersed with a variety of mannish Characters, which some of the most noted Heroes of the present Age had the Goodness to sit for. By Sophia, a Person of Quality, Author of Woman not inferior to Man.

An essay in praise of women: or, a looking-glass for ladies to see their perfections in. With Observations how the Godhead seem'd concern'd in their Creation: What Respect is due to them on that Account: How they have behaved in all Ages, and especially in our Saviour's Time. Our modern Ladies prov'd no less virtuous and industrious than those in King Solomon's Time: Those in and about London no less so than those in the Country. Several Observations of their Virtues surpassing those of Men's. Their Dress commended. The Use of the Tea-Table vindicated. Remarks upon Music and Dancing, and other Recreations fit for Ladies. Exhortations to the Knowledge of one's Self. Drunkenness and Sloth corrected. Incontinency condemn'd, and the Beauty of Chastity illustrated. Proper Advice for the Ladies to beware of Fortune-Hunters. Exhortations to keep good Company, and Cautions to refrain bad. Also, Observations and Reflections in Defence of the Fair Sex, against base and satyrical Authors; proving them not only erroueous and diabolical, but repugnant to Holy Scripture. The Whole being a Composition of Wit and Humour, Morality and Divinity, fit to be perused by all the Curious and Ingenious, especially the Ladies. By J. Bland, Professor of Physic.
