Excerpt from American Lady's Preceptor: A Compilation of Observations, Essays, and Political Effusions
"I have examined with great pleasure, the American Lady's Preceptor, and think it better suited, than any other book within my knowledge, to be put into the hands of young females; as it has an obvious tendency to amuse the fancy, to inform the mind, to improve the taste, and to mend the hearts."
From the Rev Doctor Dubourg, President of St Mary's College.
"I return you, with thanks, your American Lady's Preceptor, which you were kind enough to leave with me for perusal. A better chosen, more instructive, more entertaining, more moral and chaste compilation, has not yet fallen into my hands. - "
From the Reverend W. Staughton, D. D. of Philadelphia,
"I thank you for the opportunity you have afforded me of perusing your American Lady's Preceptor. The selections and originals are alike chaste, elegant, and very instructive.
