iry flights and bold speculations which afterwards seemed her favorite element. The History of woman, for instance, was a mere assemblage of facts, beginning and ending abruptly, and with no glimpse of any leading thought or general philosophy.

She was followed by Ernestine L. Rose, a native of Poland,--a woman of great beauty, refinement, and cultivation,--of generous impulses, liberal views, and oratorical power. She came to this country in 1836, addressed large audiences in Charleston, South Carolina, and in Detroit, Michigan, on The science of government. When it was announced in those cities, that a woman was to speak on such a theme, men made themselves merry at her presumption; but, after listening to her able exposition of the republican idea, leading men came to her, and, with m
