The ladies, in order to jufiify their cen fure, affert that Milton, a harlh domeftic tyrant, mufi needs be a very inadequate judge, and of courfe a very unfair delineator, of female accomplifhmeiits. Thefe fair ca villers draw their inference from premifes, from which I have always been accultomed to deduce a directly contrary conclufion. They infilt that it is highly derogatory from the dignity of the fex, that the poet lhould affirm that it is the perfection of the cha rafter of a wife.
