Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address on Female Education: Delivered, Nov, 21st, 1827, at the Opening I suppose it is expected of me to say something on the subject of Female Education. I enter upon the performance of this duty with no small degree of diffidence. The subject embraces, within its comprehensive scope, all that relates to the highest interests of man; for what is there affecting his temporal welfare, or his eternal destiny, on which is not brought to bear, in one form or another, the influence of woman; - an influence, which is to be cherished as one of our greatest blessings, or deprecated as the deepest calamity, according to the estimation in which she is held, the character which she sustains, and the treatment which she receives. Her education, therefore, comprising the principles on which it is conducted, and the results to which it leads, is a subject of most momentous import. Volumes have been written upon it, and still it is not exhausted. The labours of the most intelligent have been devoted to it, and still an almost boundless field of improvement lies before us. What can I say on such a subject, in so short a space of time? I must abandon all attempts at doing it any thing like the justice which it deserves. I must confine myself to the consideration of a very few particulars connected with it; and in this way alone, if in any, may I hope to lay before my audience something worthy of their attention on account of its practical utility.
