Manual for Young Ladies

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. One oversight, however, has been noticed by several eminent ladies, who have been kind enough to indicate the omission, and which we now propose and are happy to supply. We find we were some like Mr. Smith, who lived in Boston - probably he don't live there now. It was August, hot and sutfocating. He proposed to try the country air for a month. In due time he alighted from the stage coach in front of a country farmhouse, up in New Hamp shire, the home of an old acquaintance, where he was most wel come. His traps, trunks, valise, (no bandbox), hunting and fishing tackle and umbrella were not overlooked, and were landed upon the veranda, and his friend's wite met him at the door and gave him a most cordial welcome, and then asked him, Where is Mrs. Smith? Mr. Smith threw up his hands in blank astonishment as he exclaimed, I declare if 'i have not come off and left Mrs. Smith at home. I felt all the way up that I had forgotten something. And so it was we forgot the young ladies in the original edition. We are very glad that our lady friends have noticed our extreme partiality to the young men, and have asked, When shall there a Kent arise to inform the young ladies that parlor idlers are only better than street idlers, &c.
