עמוד 34 - Let such as are affected by these circumstances of alarm, hardship and danger, recollect that the subject of them was a woman of the most tender and delicate frame ; of the gentlest manners ; habituated to all the soft elegancies and refined enjoyments that attend high birth and fortune ; 'and far advanced in a state, in which the tender cares, always due to the sex, become indispensably necessary.
