"THESE lines are sacred to the memory of ONE who, not satisfied with the attainment of every female excellence, and every human virtue, soared, on adventurous wing, into the regions of science and philosophy. She successfully rivalled those who have long been accustomed to behold with indifference, if not with contempt, the efforts of feminine genius, when either classical learning or philosophical disquisition have been the objects of pursuit." This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
