• Compilation attributed to William M. Dunning in NUC pre-1956.
• "The work which forms the basis of the present volume was compiled about thirty years since, and is now out of print. ... [The editor] has added strength to the list [of contributors], by selections from the writings of such approved modern authors as were pertinent. ... Pains have been taken in the present compilation to counteract, by selections from modern pens, such reflections on the character of the female sex, and such allusions to the state of society, as are local, and which the improvements of time and the elevation of mental culture have rendered incorrect and unjust."--Preface, p. [iii]-iv.
