Notes

Dedication:
These letters
on the duties and character of women,
are
(by permission)
appropriately and submissively
inscribed to
The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty;
whose exalted character
enforces, by an example more powerful
than precept,
the strict performance
of every domestic, moral, and
religious duty.
With the deepest sense of the honour of
this illustrious patronage
the authors subscribes herself
her Majesty's
            most dutiful,
                                    and most gratefully
                                                devoted servant,
                                                Jane West.
