THREE ADDRESSES TO GIRLS AT SCHOOL THREE ADDRESSES TO GIRLS AT SCHOOL BY THE REV. J. M. WILSON, M.A. HEAD MASTER OF CLIFTON COLLEGE AND VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS London PERCIVAL & CO. _KING STREET, COVENT GARDEN_ 1890 PREFACE. The following addresses were printed for private circulation among those to whom they were delivered. But they fell also into other hands; and I have been frequently asked to publish them. I hesitated, on account of the personal and local allusions; but I have found it impossible to remove these allusions, and I have therefore reprinted the addresses in their original form. J.M.W.
