1798-Memoirs of the Author of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman"
On reading "A Short Residence in Sweden,..."
"The narrative of this voyage is before the world, and perhaps a book of travels that so irresistably seizes on the heart, never, in any other instance, found its way from the press....If ever there was a book calculated to make a man in love with its author, this appears to me to be the book."
From "Memoirs...", Chapter Eight
A Great Loss
"In January 1796, Mary finished the sketch of a comedy, which turns, in the serious scenes, upon the incidents of her own story. It was offered to both the winter managers, and remained among her papers at the period of her decease; but it appeared to me to be in so crude and imperfect a state, that I judged it most respectful to her memory to commit it to the flames."
From Chapter IV of "Memoirs of Mary Wollstonecraft"
