Excerpt from The Countess and Gertrude, or Modes of Discipline, Vol. 1 of 4 Our work is extensive, but still very imperfect. It has required some exertion of the power of se lection, to ascertain what we might leave of the heap of matter before us, when so much error de man-ded notice; and in aiming to avoid the didactic, we have omitted much that claimed a place. By endeavoring to atone for one omission, we shall, perhaps, awaken the attention of the reader to the general tendency of our labour.
