Sketches of the fair sex, in all parts of the world. To which are
added rules for determining the precise figure, the degree of
beauty, the habits, and the age of women, notwithstanding the aids
and disguise of dress. It is our design to present a pleasing and
interesting miscellany, which will serve to beguile the leisure
hour, and will at the same time couple instruction with amusement.
We have used but little method in the arrangement: Choosing rather
to furnish the reader with a rich profusion of narratives and
anecdotes, all tending to illustrate the FEMALE CHARACTER, to
display its delicacy, its sweetness, its gentle or sometimes heroic
virtues, its amiable weaknesses, and strange defects—than to
attempt an accurate analysis of the hardest subject man ever
attempted to master, viz—WOMAN. (Summary from the book)
