    ADVERTISEMENT. IN preparing the following work for the press, particular care has been taken to select such matte) only as had an immediate tendency to cultivate the mind, relatively to the subjects treated of. For this reason, we have omitted Arithmetic, and all olhei unnecessary and useless tables and calculations. The selections made for precedents in letter writing, have been made from some of the most celebrated moral ivriters ; und, although it has been found necessary to vary the stile, as well as the subjects, yet it ispresmned that nothing has been inserted which could wound the feelings of young females, for whose instruction and edification this volume is principally designed.
