Excerpt from Physical Education: Specially Adapted to Young Ladies
From the number of works existing on education it might be supposed that there was nothing more to be said on the subject; that is not the case, the apparent abundance is in reality sterile, and the numerous works existing on education are but compilations and repetitions of more or less ancient date.
Until the appearance of the first edition of my work (so favourably received by the public) the subject of which I treat was new. No author had given special attention to the physical education of women; observations relating to them were occasionally to be found, but no work then existed entirely devoted to their progressive development.
