Correspondence: Between a Mother and Her Daughter at School

Excerpt from Correspondence: Between a Mother and Her Daughter at School
For the purpose of conveying instruction to young people at School, the method of letters from a Mother was adopted, as the most natural and convenient, and as the most likely to engage the attention of those for whose use the volume is designed.
It is hoped, the letters of Laura will not be considered as intruders in these pages. While they were intended to render the work somewhat more amusing to the young reader, it will be seen that it was not with a view to her amusement only that they were written.
