Description
Excerpt from The Letters and Works of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Vol. 3 of 3
I AM extremely concerned to hear you complain of ill health, at a time of life when you ought to be in the ?ower of your strength. I hope I need not recommend to you the care of it: the tender ness you have for your children is sufficient to enforce you to the utmost regard for the preserva tion of a life so necessary to their well being. I do not doubt your prudence in their education neither can I say any thing particular relating to it at this distance, different tempers requiring different management. In general, never attempt to go vern them (as most people do) by deceit: if they find themselves cheated, even in tri?es, it will so far lessen the authority of their instructor, as to make them neglect all their future admonitions. And, if possible, breed them free from prejudices.
