" But to return to my opinion of the effect education has in extending the focus of ideas, and, consequently, of curbing the intensity of the passions. I have remarked that well-edu- cated women rarely, if ever, gave way to any ebullitions of them ; and this is a grand step gained in conquering their em- pire, as habit in this, as well as in all else, has great power. I hope my daughter will be well educated ; but of this I have little dread, as her mother is highly cultivated, and certainly ha...s a degree of self-control that I never saw equalled. I am certain that Lady Byron's first idea is, what is due to herself; I mean that it is the undeviating rule of her conduct. I wish she had thought a little more of what is due to others. Now my besetting sin is a want of that self-respect, — which she has in excess; and that want has produced much unhappiness to us both. But though I accuse Lady Byron of an excess of self- respect, I must in candor admit, that if any person ever had an excuse for an extraordinary portion of it, she has ; as in all her thoughts, words, and deeds, she is the most decorous woman that ever existed, and must appear — what few, I fancy, could — a perfect and refined gentlewoman, even to her femme- de-chambre.
