Caprice and The Beaux in a Freeborn Briton’s Notes
A fragmentary voice voices personal plans and views on marriage and social conduct. The narrator vows to write freely for a female audience, hints at reviewing theatre, fashion, and morals, and dismisses male critics while favoring caprice and liberty in a witty, period tone. The piece hints at future commentary on theatres neglected by essayists and promises candor aimed at women.
