Letters on women and marriage in 18th century style
A long letter from a correspondent in London condemns fashionable British ladies and urges stricter early education at the nursery. It laments libertine youth, praises modesty, and urges study, virtue, and examples from antiquity to curb modern manners. Additional London notes recount French military actions at Carrickfergus and moving dispatches from Belfast.
