Fifth edition. 6 149 1 ad pp. 1 vols. 12mo. First published in two editions in 1696 and reprinted in 1697 1721 and the present edition ca. 1750 with changing subtitles. Variously attributed to Mary Astell Judith Drake and H. Wyatt.<br/>The present edition includes an ad for The Universal Library kept by Newcastle bookseller R. Akenhead jun. The date is conjectured from the R. Akenhead junior imprint which surfaces briefly in two other works dated 1750.<br/>A curious note on the verso of the dedication explains the lack of a subscriber's list. Apparently most of the "generous Encouragers" did not want to have their names included so "no List is printed lest Offence might be given."<br/><br/>The author observes: "we are taught only our Mother-Tongue or perhaps French which is now very fashionable and almost as familiar amongst Women of Quality as Men; whereas the other Sex by means of a more extensive Education to the Knowledge of the Roman and Greek Languages have a vaster Field for their Imaginations to rove in and their Capacities thereby enlarged."<br/><br/>RARE.
