She deeply reflected on the subject of government, with its influence on the happiness and virtue of man- kind: she became anxious that the distance should be diminished that separates man from man; and to see extended over the whole human race those enlightened sentiments, equal laws, and equitable decisions, that might restore to its due proportion a balance so ill ad- justed, and combine with the refinement of a more ad- vanced age the simplicity and virtue of the earlier pe- riods. Fraught ...with these ideas, and with a heart glowing- with good will to wards her species, she took up her pen, and gave to the most interesting portion of the history of her country a new spirit and interest. A female historian, by its singularity, could not fail to excite attention; she seemed to have stepped out of the province of her sex; curiosity was sharpened, and ma- levolence provoked. The author was attacked by pet- ty and personal scurrilities, to which it was believed her sex would render her vulnerable.
