likewise THE MARTYRDOM OF THEODORA, with some few Pieces of like Nature. And the TELEMACHUS of our Author will be better, sure, for her, than any Romance or Novel besides: This, though written in Prose, is perhaps the most compleat Poem that several Ages have produced, for the Subject and Disposition of it. She may be directed likewise to the _Psyche_ of Dr. _Beaumont_; to Dr. _Woodford's Poetical Paraphrases_ on the Psalms and Canticles; Sir _Richard Blackmore's Paraphrase_ on Job; the _Davideis_ and some of the _Pindaricks_ of Mr. _Cowley_.

For _Sermons_, at her leisure Hours, when she is disposed to read them, there is abundant Choice. Let her not affect to read such as are too Learned, or above her Capacity; and especially, let her avoid all such as savour of a Party, and that may tend to sowre her with Disputes either Civil or Religious. For the Study of _Morality_, SENECA'S MORALS, Abstracted by _L'Estrange_, is almost the only Piece, that I should offer to her, besides the Incomparable Essays of Mr. _Collier_, and his ANTONINUS. I mention but a few, among many others excellent in this kind, because I would not have her distracted by too great Variety of Reading. The final admonition implies the danger always in the background of the most liberal eighteenth-century mind, and that is that learning, even hedged-in and expurgated learning, might make girls bold and unfeminine:
