Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Good Wives It was my original intention to have entitled this volume, The Wives of Distinguished Men. But great men have sometimes had bad wives; and I was unwilling to do anything to save such individuals from the oblivion they deserved. This decision was not influenced by any wish to make women appear better than they really are; but by the simple conviction that such examples could produce no salutary effect. Even the most ordinary writer has some influence on mankind, and is responsible to his God for the use he makes of that influence. I may sin against taste - I may be deficient in talent - but it shall ever be my earnest endeavor to write nothing, that can, even in its remotest tendency, check the progress of good feelings and correct principles. The last volume of the Ladies´ Family Library contained but little original writing, This was not the result of indolence, or carelessness; it was occasioned by the nature of the materials.
