Since I have called out for help in my catalogue of a lady's library, I have received many letters upon that head, some of which I shall give an account of. In the first class I shall take notice of those which come to me from eminent booksellers, who every one of them mention with respect the authors they have printed, and consequently have an eye to their own advantage more than to that of the ladies. One tells me, that he thinks it absolutely necessary for women to have true notions of right and equity, and that therefore they cannot peruse a better book than Dalton's _Country Justice_: another thinks they cannot be without _The Compleat Jockey_. A third, observing the curiosity and desire of prying into secrets, which he tells me is natural to the fair sex, is of opinion this female inclination, if well directed, might turn very much to their advantage, and therefore recommends to me _Mr. Mede upon the Revelations_. A fourth lays it down as an unquestioned truth, that a lady cannot be thoroughly accomplished who has not read the _Secret Treaties and Negotiations of Marshal d'Estrades_. Mr. Jacob Tonson, junior, is of opinion, that _Bayle's Dictionary_ might be of very great use to the ladies, in order to make them general scholars. Another, whose name I have forgotten, thinks it highly proper that every woman with child should read Mr. Wall's _History of Infant Baptism_: as another is very importunate with me to recommend to all my female readers _The Finishing Stroke: Being a Vindication of the Patriarchal Scheme_, &c. In the second class I shall mention books which are recommended by husbands, if I may believe the writers of them. Whether or no they are real husbands or personated ones I cannot tell, but the books they recommend are as follow. _A Paraphrase on the History of Susanna._ _Rules to keep Lent._ _The Christian's Overthrow prevented._ _A Dissuasive from the Playhouse._ _The Virtues of Camphire, with Directions to make Camphire Tea._ _The pleasures of a Country Life._ _The Government of the Tongue._ A letter dated from Cheapside desires me that I would advise all young wives to make themselves mistresses of Wingate's _Arithmetic_, and concludes with a postscript, that he hopes I will not forget _The Countess of Kent's Receipts_.
