When I began to write this work, I divided it into three parts, ſuppoſing that one volume would contain a full diſcuſſion of the arguments which ſeemed to me to riſe naturally from a few ſimple principles; but freſh illuſtrations occurring as I advanced, I now preſent only the firſt part to the public.
Many ſubjects, however, which I have curſorily alluded to, call for particular inveſtigation, eſpecially the laws relative to women, and the conſideration of their peculiar duties. Theſe will furniſh ample matter for a ſecond volume, which in due time will be publiſhed, to elucidate ſome of the ſentiments, and complete many of the ſketches begun in the firſt.
