[Footnote 213:  See Macaulay on “The Comic Dramatists.”]

[Footnote 214:  See “Strathmore,” and others, by “Ouida”; “Not Wisely, But Too Well,” “Red as a Rose Is She,” “Joan,” by Rhoda Broughton; “Cherry Ripe,” by Helen Mathers; “The Lovels of Arden,” by Miss Braddon; “Under which Lord?” by Mrs E.L.  Linton; “A Romance of the Nineteenth Century,” by W.H.  Mallock; “Children of Nature,” by the Earl of Desart.  A long list of very nasty books might easily be added, but these will be sufficient to illustrate the bad tendencies of fiction, and to show how thoroughly female authors have kept pace in immodesty and indecency with their rivals of the less pretentious sex.]
