ELLIS, Mrs. (Sarah)
The Women of England, Their Social Duties, and Domestic Habits.
New York: D. Appleton, 1843. 8vo., full cont. calf, 214, (24)pp.ads. Lacking the front free e/paper, inner hinges cracked, foxing throughout but still a very good copy.
Sarah Ellis [?-1872] was one of the most voluminous and popular writers of the period. With her husband, William Ellis the highly respected missionary to the South Seas, she devoted herself to various "moral" causes, particularly the promotion of temperance. Ellis instituted a school for young ladies so she could apply the principles illustrated in her books; moral training, formation of good character, and the domestic duties of women. Ellis took great pains to "improve the intellectual condition of women of the lower classes." The above title is an example of this sort of work; containing information on education, dress, conversation, etc. A contemporary reviewer commented, "we know of no volume better calculated to exercise a powerful, lasting and beneficial influence. If we could have our way, every family would have a copy of The Women of England."
