Note 66 — Chapter I · LEARNED LADIES IN ENGLAND BEFORE 1650

This edition, brought out by Messrs. Blackwood, "is accompanied by a long preface or dissertation containing many particulars relating to the authoress and her relatives, and to a number of ladies of high station and polished education, who, during the period intervening between the Reformation in England and the Revolution in 1688, distinguished themselves by publishing works characterized by exalted piety and refined taste." (Notes and Queries, 1st Series, vol. IV, p. 410.) I have not had access to this edition.
