The Grace That Makes Every Grace Amiable

Who Would Not Rather Be The Sufferer Than The Defrauder?

All Our Pursuits, From Childhood To Manhood, Are Only Trifles Of Different Sorts And Sizes, Proportioned To Our Years And Views.

But Let Not Those Worthy Young Women, Who May Think Themselves Destined To A Single Life, Repine Over-much At Their Lot; Since, Possibly, If They Have Had No Lovers, Or Having Had One, Two, Or Three, Have Not Found A Husband, They Have Had Rather A Miss Than A Loss, As Men Go.
