Sketches of the Fair Sex, in All Parts of the World

It is our design to present a pleasing and interesting miscellany, which will serve to beguile the leisure hour, and will at the same time couplen instruction with amusement. We have used but little method in the arrangement: Choosing rather to furnish the reader with a rich profusion of

narratives and anecdotes, all tending to illustrate the female character to display its delicacy, its sweetness, its gentle or sometimes heroic virtues, its amiable weaknesses, and strange defects-than to attempt an accurate analysis of the hardest subject man ever attempted to master, viz - WOMAN.
