Abstract
This chapter presents an essay written by Matron de Medici to the editor of The British Lady's Magazine on the subjects of beauty and order. According to the writer, if Beauty be coveted by one who has not the sense of sight, the desire must be raised by some apprehended regularity of figure, sweetness of voice, smoothness or softness of the skin, or some other quality perceivable by his other senses, without any relation or reference to the ideas of colours. As far as the sense discovers, or reason improves the understanding, and extends the sphere of the imagination, the structure, order, and motion, of every body discernible in the creation, are found agreeable to the mind’s sense of Beauty.
