If We Mean To Have Heroes, Statesmen And Philosophers, We Should Have Learned Women. The World Perhaps Would Laugh At Me, And Accuse Me Of Vanity, But You I Know Have A Mind Too Enlarged And Liberal To Disregard The Sentiment. If Much Depends As Is Allowed Upon The Early Education Of Youth And The First Principals Which Are Instill'd Take The Deepest Root, Great Benefit Must Arise From Literary Accomplishments In Women.
