Excerpt from Mrs. Leicester's School: The Histories of Several Young Ladies, Related by Themselves Though released from the business of the school, the absence of your Governess con fines me to Amwell during the vacation. I cannot better employ my leisure hours than in contributing to the amusement of you, my kind Pupils, who, by your affectionate attention to my instructions, have rendered a life of labour pleasant to me. On your return to school, I hope to have a fair copy ready to present to each of you, of your own biographical conversations last winter.
