Beside the unfavourable influence, which it is fitted to exert upon her own feelings, it rarely fails to sink her in the estimation of the wise and discerning. In short there is hardly any thing, which I would not rather have you, than a fashionable belle; and I would greatly prefer that you should have one suitable and advantageous offer of marriage at a proper time, than that you should engross the undivided gallantry of all your acquaintance. That Providence may direct you with respect to every thing in which your happiness is involved, is the sincere and fervent prayer of Your devoted Father. LETTER XII. i INTERCOURSE WITH THE WORLB. My dear Child, Notwithstanding much of what might naturally fall under the subject of your inter course with the world, has been anticipated in several of the preceding letters, there are still some things connected with it, which I deem too important to be passed over in silence. A few hints on this subject, will, therefore, claim your attention in the present letter. With regard to the degree of intercourse, which you are to have with the world, you will need to guard against the two extremes;-- on the one hand, of neglecting your more retired and domestic duties, for the sake of mingling continually in society; and on the other, of imbibing the habit of a recluse, in order to shut yourself out from the din and business of the world. A character formed exclusively in either of these ways, will lack some qualities which are important in practical life; and it is only the proper combination of both, which will give to it a due proportion and consistency. It is necessary that you should be considerably in the world, that you may be practically acquainted with its ways, and study the science of human...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Classical Self considers the role of classical languages and learning in the construction of Irish cultural identities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focusing in particular on the "lower ranks" of society. This eighteenth century notion of the "classical self" grew partly out of influential identity narratives developed in the seventeenth century by clerics on the European continent: responding to influential critiques of the Irish as ignorant barbarians, they published works demonstrating the value and antiquity of indigenous culture and made traditional annalistic claims about the antiquity of Irish and connections between Ireland and the biblical and classical world broadly known. In the eighteenth century these and related ideas spread through Irish poetry, which demonstrated the complex and continuing interaction of languages in the country: a story of conflict, but also of communication and amity. The "classical strain" in the context of the non-elite may seem like an unlikely phenomenon but the volume exposes the truth in the legend of the classical hedge schools which offered tuition in Latin and Greek to poor students, for whom learning and claims to learning had particular meaning and power. This volume surveys official data on schools and scholars together with literary and other narratives, showing how the schools, inherently transgressive because of the Penal Laws, drove concerns about class and political loyalty and inspired seductive but contentious retrospectives. It demonstrates that classical interests among those "in the humbler walks of life" ran in the same channels as interests in Irish literature and contemporary Irish poetry and demands a closer look at the phenomenon in its entirety.
