This reissue brings together the two volumes, first published in 1773, of Hester Chapone's letters to her niece, in which she offers advice on a variety of topics pertaining to self-improvement. The guidance concerns not only ladylike deportment, but also emphasises the importance of a rigorous and broad education.
