LIFE AND LETTERS OF THE COUNTESS ADELSTAN. An Abridged Translation, from the French of the 66 BY E. A. M. AUTHOR OF ROSALIE; OR, THE MEMOIRS OF A FRENCH CHILD," PREFACE. HE little work, of which a translation is here given, will, it is hoped, prove as acceptable to the Catholic mothers of England as it has proved to those of France; not only as illustrating a lofty type of conjugal excellence, but also, and principally, for the admirable suggestions on the educational training of young girls, especially those of the higher classes of society, which are contained in the letters of the noble "Lyonnese Lady," whose true name it is the wish of her family, as it was also her own wish, should remain unknown. E. A. M. Paris, 1874. |
