After indulging his audience with a few
remarks - upon the- remedyleFthe oomph:7ll3W

for the complaint. • This was , education, a

tion of felonies, is of a Character , entirely too
superficial to, fit women for the pbiition. they
ought to enjoy in society. He denounced the
system of female education adopted in many
of our Seminaries; and invoked a "reform, a
