Excerpt from The Good Girl and True Woman: Or Elements of Success Drawn From the Life of Mary Lyon and Other Similar Characters
This volume is a companion for "The Poor Boy and Merchant Prince," designed for girls from ten to eighteen years of age, although persons of any age will find counsels and facts upon its pages to guide and cheer them in the work of life.
The plan of the book is similar to that of its companion. Mary Lyon is the leading character, around which are grouped a large number of incidents from the lives of other distinguished women, both for the purpose of illustrating certain elements of female character, and of making the book more attractive to the young. Miss Lyon was not a perfect woman, and therefore she is not a perfect model for girls.
