ADVERTISEMENT.

The following papers on Woman were originally published in the columnsof the London Saturday Review. Some of them have already been reprintedin the literary and daily journals of this country, and they haveexcited no little discussion and comment among readers of both sexes.

Whether agreeing or not with the writer, it is impossible not to concedethe eminent ability with which the various subjects are handled. Noseries of essays has appeared in the English language for many yearswhich has been so extensively reprinted and so generally read.

The authorship of these papers has been attributed to differentindividuals, male and female; but it is more than probable that thewriters whose names have been mentioned in this connection are preciselythose who have had nothing whatever to do with them. It is not unlikelythat, in due time, the publisher of this volume may be in possession ofauthentic information on this head, and that the name of the author maythen appear on the title-page.
