Books that misrepresent human passions should not be read before the judgment is formed
Drawn from what Mary Wollstonecraft said
What Mary Wollstonecraft actually said
- Mary Wollstonecraft English moral and political philosopher (1759 to 1797)
Those productions which give a wrong account of the human passions, and the various accidents of life, ought not to be read before the judgment is formed, or at least exercised. Such accounts are one great cause of the affectation of young women.
