Abstract
This chapter presents a letter written by a British lady, published in The British Lady's Magazine, on the subject of female talent. According to the letter writer, in woman are to be seen the seeds of complicated science; the hand of culture is only wanted to produce maturity of fruit, and to make her, conjoined with her sexual beauties, the envy of her presumptuous self-created masculine chief. Woman supplies the deficiency, she completes his perfection; therefore is his preferable part, for without her man could not perform nor sustain the varied avocations of his being. The writer desires that man may no longer boast, or, when any of his own kind evince less energy, call him a woman. Female delicacy hides many excellencies and many attainments; but the most superficial acquirements of man are both means and ends.
