    ploying only females : in the shops of milliners ,, haberdashers , retail linen-drapers , &c . it is disgusting to see men officiate . The married woman who has been thus taught and trained in the middling class of life , would be able to assist in providing for her family and house , she would not be a useless burthen on the industry of her husband , and would thus ensure his respect with his love . The unmarried would , by the professions or trades which they exercised , keep a rank in society , and maintain the respect due to that rank : they would no longer feel the humiliation of having no social consequence but through the men , and their characters would acquire dignity and strength .

    Before reason and justice can maintain their rights over mankind , all odious distinctions and prejudices ^ whether sexual or feudal , must be done away . If woman is inferior to man , it is not in nature but in degree , reason and virtue must be the same in both ; if their duties are different in some respects , they are still human duties , and their foundation and end must be the same . Virtue can only be depended upon that has its foundation on principle and truth .

    William Howitt here presents himself to us in a new character . We were acquainted with him as a quaker , a naturalist , a poet , a man of observant mind , kind feelings , and pure taste , but had not associated him with the idea of a reformer in church and state , a warm politician . We rejoice to see him in that capacity . The conflicts of the political arena have changed their nature , and there should be an analogous novelty in the combatants . The strife of party is over , though a few Tories and Whigs may still dream that they are fencing with the old foils , and have only to beat or be beaten as formerly by dexterity in gladiatorial tricks . The real battle has commenced , the strife between the many and the few , to decide for whose benefit society is constituted . In such a strife there must be something to do for every faculty and gift with which humanity is invested ; and especially for the noblest of them , the best qualities of head and heart . Let us have no cant about the calmer and loftier regions of imagination . Goethe lived and died in little Weimar . If we have men of all ages amongst us , depend upon it they will be men of this age too ; for ? A Papular History of Priestcraft in all Ages and Nations , by Win . Howitt . London , "Wilson .
