s branches of education. It should be in the hands of all who are educating others, or attempting to instruct themselves.--_Mad'lle Montgolfier of France._ Mothers may find in this book a valuable assistant to aid them in bringing up their daughters to prefer duty to pleasure, and knowledge to amusement; and who would teach them to be learned without pedantry and graceful without affectation.
