First edition? Reprinted several times: 1766, 1774 (INED 700), 1779, 1788. Abilstur, 269: "The two sexes perfect one another: women soften men’s coarse manners, and men, in return, instill in them a desire for ‘lofty goals,’ ‘elevation,’ and ‘vigor.’ He criticizes the idleness of noblewomen—“Waving a fan is no work at all”—but acknowledges that women of the common people “do more than their share.”
