In which a gentle lady relates instructive tales for the amusement and improvement of her children and young Miss Goodwin, illustrating by contrasting examples the virtues and failings of various characters, and imparting sound counsel on the preservation of a young woman’s reputation and conduct. These narratives, accompanied by tender maternal affection and keen observation, are framed so as to commend prudence, modesty, and virtue, whilst cautioning against the follies and dangers that attend heedlessness and vanity.
