[4] Only rarely did women like Mary Astell or Mrs. Elizabeth Rowe become authors to demonstrate a theory or to inculcate principles of piety, and still more seldom did such creditable motives lead to the writing of fiction.  Perhaps the only one of the romancieres not dependent in some measure upon the sale of her works was Mrs. Penelope Aubin, who in the Preface to Charlotta Du Pont (dedicated to Mrs. Rowe) declares, “My Design in writing, is to employ my leisure Hours to some Advantage to my self and others ...  I do not write for Bread.”

[5] The salacious landlady in Mrs. Lennox’s Henrietta tries to discourage the heroine from reading Joseph Andrews by recommending Mrs. Haywood’s works, “... ’there is Mrs. Haywood’s Novels, did you ever read them?  Oh! they are the finest love-sick, passionate stories; I assure you, you’ll like them vastly:  pray take a volume of Haywood upon my recommendation.’—­’Excuse me,’ said Henrietta,” etc. The Novelist’s Magazine (Harrison), XXIII, 14.
