HOUSEHOLD EDUCATION. BY HARRIET MARTINEAU. LONDON: EDWARD MOXON, DOVER STREET. MDCCCXLIX. LONDON BRADBURY AND EVANS, PRINTERS, WHITEFRIARS. PREFACE. A portion of this work appeared, some months ago, in papers in the People's Journal. The appearance of these papers was suspended by the change in the affairs of that Journal. From that time to the present, applications have been made to me at intervals, to request me to finish my subject. In deference to these requests, I have completed my original design. For its suggestion, I am indebted to Mr. Saunders, the late editor of the People's Journal. For the imperfections of the work, which I know to be many and great, notwithstanding my earnest interest in what I was writing, no one is responsible but myself. AMBLESIDE, _November 16th, 1848_.
