Jane Marcet : Conversations on Natural Philosophy

[Letter dated 1823, to Miss Pickford]. Madame Marcet is a very good guide as far as she goes, but surely respecting the system of pulleys she has not gone quite far enough. She has left us to ourselves rather too soon'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Anne Lister      Print: Book

  

Jane Haldimand Marcet : Conversations on Political Economy

'Have you not been delighted with Mrs Marcet? What an extraordinary work for a woman! Everybody who understands the subject is in a state of astonishment, and those, who like me know very little or nothing about it, are delighted with the knowledge they have acquired. One of our ci-devant Judges, Sir James Mansfield, who in his 83rd year devours all that is new in Literature, is charmed and laments extremely that he did not know as much as that Book has taught him when he was at the Bar'.
