_Clelia_: Which opened of itself in the Place that described two Lovers in a Bower. _Baker's_ Chronicle. Advice to a Daughter. The New _Atalantis_, with a Key to it. Mr. Steele's _Christian Heroe_. A Prayer Book: With a Battle of _Hungary_ Water by the side of it. Dr. _Sacheverell_'s Speech. _Fielding_'s Tryal. _Seneca_'s Morals. _Taylor's_ Holy Living and Dying. _Le Ferte_'s Instructions for Country Dances. After some comment on this list as not in all respects desirable, Addison stated that it was his purpose soon to suggest a catalogue of books that would be proper for the improvement of the sex. In May (No. 79) of the same year a lady named "B. D." reminded _The Spectator_ of this promise, and urged that in his catalogue of a Female Library he would pay particular attention to devotional works. In June (No. 92) _The Spectator_ gives an account of the letters received by the editor in answer to his call for help in making up his "Catalogue of a Lady's Library." Book-sellers recommend the authors they have printed; husbands give the preference to Wingate's _Arithmetic_, the Countess of Kent's _Receipts, The Government of the Tongue_. Ladies send in all sorts of advice. "Coquetilla begs me not to think of nailing Women upon their Knees with Manuals of Devotion, nor of scorching their Faces with Books of Housewifry." French romances and plays rank among the most popular sorts of reading. _The Spectator_ renews his promise to search out in authors ancient and modern the passages most suitable for women, a work of this nature being the more necessary since most books are calculated for male readers. In August (No. 140) "Parthenia" writes concerning her disappointment on reading the description of Leonora's Library which she finds no true guide at all, and she urges _The Spectator_ to more earnest efforts in behalf of the sex: The great desire I have to Embellish my Mind with some of those Graces which you say are so becoming, and which you assert Reading helps us to, has made me uneasie 'till I am put in a capacity of attaining them: This, Sir, I shall never think my self in, 'till you shall be pleased to recommend some Author or Authors to my Perusal.... I write to you not only my own Sentiments, but also those of several other of my Acquaintance, who are as little pleased with the ordinary manner of spending one's Time as myself: And if a fervent Desire after Knowledge, and a great Sense of our present Ignorance, may be thought a good presage and earnest of Improvement you may look upon your Time you shall bestow in answering this Request not thrown away to no purpose.
