piemen of social improvement , and to ply pickaxe and shovel all the TBore vig 0 roM « 4 y wh ^ ne ^ er thje obfttacles wete most fwtnidefeie , instead of tortiihg aside into an eastar path for their own progress . We looked for their teaching England the lesson which France has learned of the importance of principles , and doing something for our deliverance from the narrow , shallow * retail , and empirical mode of treating public matters to which our countrymen are addicted .
Moreover , the condition of women , of which the exclusion from all political right is a prominent feature , is a topic to which the public mind may not only be usefully directed , but towards whvch it is turning of itself ; as witness the clever pamphlet of * Lydia Tomkins / with many other , indications both in books and in periodical literature . The Westminster ' predicted some time ago , that this would be the popular topic of the next generation ; now one generation isc perhaps rather below
than ttbove the average advance of the * London Review * upon its totem * DOtaries . At any rate , we should expect it to be never behind the Jbremoftt rank in the discussion of grievances and improvements . There is no mischief so deeply rooted , so wide spreading , as that which results from the dependent and degraded position of women . The superficial education to which they are condemned ; their dependence on marriage for a civil existence ; the absence of those rights of property which are
essential to their protection ; their exclusion not only from political rights , but their being warned off all public interests as ground on which they are trespassers ; the selfish , enfeebling , and debasing character of the influence which they too often exercise over man in his public capacity , and which is the reaction of his own conduct : these are sufficient evidence of the necessity of * popular discussion , and in such hands as those of the writer ' on whom we are commenting , who can doubt the ' prospect of practical advantage V It is a subject worthy of him , and of which he is worthy ; and we do hope that he will soon advert to it in a different spirit , and shew what can be done towards the redress of one of the greatest grievances , by the efforts of one of the fine s * intellects of the age in which we live .
