The PREFACE.
neſs in the Perſon of a Woman of the World, or to affect Folly, Childiſhneſs and Levity, under the Appellation of a fine Lady.
To conclude, I hope, for the Sake of my fair Country-Women, that theſe excellent Pictures of Virtue and Vice, which, to my Knowledge, the Author hath beſtowed ſuch Pains in drawing, will not be thrown away on the World, but that much more Advantage may accrue to the Reader, than the Good-nature and Senſibility of the Age have, to their immortal Honour, beſtowed on the Author.
