Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on the Sphere and Duties of Woman, and Other Subjects The exhaustless resources which are Opening upon society in public lectures, is a subject which is worthy of a more minute and extended development. This system is destined, I have not the least doubt, to work great changes in society. It will demonstrate what with me has ever been a favorite theory, the com patibility of daily toil with intellectual cultivation. Since writing these lectures I have seen a publication called the Lowell Ofi'ering, composed entirely by the factory girls, which amply corroborates all I have ever thought or said upon this subject. No man can read that periodical, and say that daily labor has any tendency to degrade or enfeeble the mind, to debase or chill the heart.
