Treatise on Domestic Economy: For the Use of Young Ladies at Home, and at School (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Treatise on Domestic Economy: For the Use of Young Ladies at Home, and at School The writer became early convinced that this ev1l results mainly from the fact, that young girls, especially in the more wealthy classes, are not trained for their profession. In early life, they go through a course of school training which results in great debility of constitution, while, at the same time, their physical and domestic education is almost wholly neglected. Thus they enter on their most arduous and sacred duties so inexperienced and uninformed, and with so little muscular and nervous strength, that probably there is not one chance in ten, that young women of the present day, will pass through the first years Of married life without such prostration of health and spiritsas makes life a burden to themselves, and, it is to be feared, such as se riously interrupts the confidence and happiness of married life.
