Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Women and Men, chapter 17 (search)
contributed by my elder sister. Perhaps if all college boys made similar confessions, we should get some additional light as to the influence of women on style. Nor is it altogether a disadvantage to literature, I suspect, that women have been kept out of academic education while it was narrow and pedantic, and are now being admitted to it after it has become more truly liberal. An extremely clever woman, Mrs. Mary Astell, who wrote A Defense of the female sex nearly two centuries ago (1697) in England, puts this point in a very lively way. I have often thought, she says, that the not teaching Women Latin and Greek was an advantage to then, if it were rightly consider'd, and might be improv'd to a great length. For Girles after they can Read and Write (if they be of any Fashion) are taught such things as take not up their whole time, and not being suffer'd to move about at liberty as Boys, are furnish'd among other Toys with Books, such as Romances, Novels, Plays, and Poems, wh

rious kinds was so too. His temper indeed was sudden, but this was his burden and lamentation. He was a person of grave and austere countenance and conversation, mixed with much of the gentleman and the Christian. He died at seventy. It should be recited in his honor that he was wholly opposed to the witchcraft trials and boldly so declared himself; but in vain, as popular clamor demanded them. His two sons were Francis, born 1695, graduated at Harvard 1712, died 1768; and Thomas, born 1697, graduated 1714, died 1769. Thomas became pastor of the First Church in Boston in 1717 and was an excellent minister. Francis, after the English plan, succeeded his father. He occupied the ancestral estate, and spent the most of his life in the public service. He was Register of Probate for Middlesex from 1709 to 1731, so that for many years the father was Judge and the son Register. He was Register of Deeds forty-five years, a member of the Council twenty-six years, and a Justice for
