On the Education of Girls
The treatise written about 1685 for the Duchess of Beauvillier, followed by the Advice to a Lady of Quality on the education of her daughter: forming the child by gentleness, example and stories, religious instruction, vanity, the duties of women and the choice of governesses. The English is Thomas Frognall Dibdin’s translation of 1805, which follows the thirteen chapters (it lacks the Advice).
