NOTICE.

THIS little volume passes from my hand into the Press; but it needs no commendation from me. It was compiled by the Rev. A. G. Fairchild, of the United States; and is reprinted from the second edition, revised and enlarged. I concur in the opinions of my esteemed brethren, the Rev. E. P. Swift, and the Rev. W. H. Pearce, and these are ample testimony in its favour.

I ask particular attention to the letter of Mr. Pearce, as it casts useful light on the very important subject of female education in India. Such a statement from such a judge of the merits of the case, will go far to sustain, and, if needful, to justify the combined efforts of British ladies to emancipate their sex in India from their manifold thraldom, by the power of Knowledge, Truth, and Religion.

Hackney, May 4th, 1838.
