Notes:

"In a compilation, principally calculated for young ladies, from twelve to sixteen years of age, she has taken particular ... care to avoid the least appearance ... of any thing which can militate against the strictest ideas of delicacy and propriety ... the compiler has made her extracts chiefly from the most celebrated miscellaneous authors ... Many of the articles are anonymous ..."--Preface, p. [iii]-iv, dated: Philadelphia, August 10, 1803.
