Look at your [English] ladies of quality-are they not forever parting with their husbands-forfeiting their reputations-and is their life aught but dissipation? In common genteel life, indeed, you may now and then meet with very fine girls-who have politeness, sense and conversation-but these are few-and then look at your trademen's daughters-what are they?-poor creatures indeed! all pertness, imitation and folly.
