To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For I would ask, how can a young woman, unconsci- ous and unguarded, who has never been apprised of her danger, by her parents, the only persons %vho ought to admonish her on so delicate a sub- ject; how can she escape pollution, when oppor- tunity, importunity and the invincibility of se- duction, are all combined against her? She par- leys, she reasons with her seducer; but, alas! in Tain: his sophistry is paramount to all her artless VINDICATED, i^> logic. The libertine hears but will not un...der- stand. She falls a martyr, I will not say, to the arts of seduction, but to paternal neglect. While the female, who has been taught in the school of maternal experience, on whose juvenile mind has been impressed the indispensible duties peculiar to the female character, to whom has been pointed out the many formidable plans laid to ensnare the sex and fascinate the unguarded, the sure and certain way, also, to shun these snares and vanquish every innovation, when the adept at seduction appears with all his wiles in the presence of such a character, she views him with scorn; and, as she considers the smallest at- attempt on her chastity, or the least insinuation stamped with the signature of indelicacy, as au unpardonable insult, she replies to the same with magnanimous contempt and execration, and frowns the reptile to his native insignificance; while she insinuates that she would sooner sacri- fice a thousand lives, than forego her untarnish- ed chastity.
