LETTERS FROM MRS. PALMERSTONE ΤΟ HER DAUGHTER; INCULCATING MORALITY BY ENTERTAINING NARRATIVES. BY MRS. HUNTER, IN THREE VOLUMES. VOL. II. SECOND EDITION. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 1810. MRS. PALMERSTONE'S LETTERS ΤΟ HER DAUGHTER. LETTER VII. THE CARD PARTY, WITH THE HISTORY OF THE STANLEY FAMILY.

You are called upon as a rational being, and as created ultimately for immortality, VOL II. B to |
