Preface. THE Author of these Conversations is conscious that the subjects she has ventured to discuss may not only subject her to the imputation of temerity, but be considered beyond the sphere and capacity of woman. In commencing her enquiry into the nature of Good and Evil, she was not aware of the depth and extent of the subject, or should not have had sufficient confidence in her abilities to attempt its investigation. She can only with deference submit her work to the promoters of mental culture, and hope that the first production of a female pen will be considered with liberality and indulgence, and received with that favour which the friends of human happiness bestow on every attempt, however humble, to accelerate the progress of intellect, and advance the glorious cause of Truth and Virtue.
