The Females Legacy is the only surviving work of Amey Howard about
whom very little is known. While rarely political or even topical,
The Females Legacy generally conforms to much of the same
militantly Protestant ideology of the sort Harris spent his life
advocating. The volume contains twenty-six devotional poems nearly
all of which feature a male speaker. Some are 'meditations' in
which the speaker considers the import of an Old or New Testament
narrative. Others are 'dialogues' between speakers who grapple with
a sudden realisation of their own sinful natures and a biblical
figure who introduces them to Christ's redemptive majesty.
Interspersed amongst these two kinds of verse are a few other poems
which directly address women or deploy them as protagonists. This
edition reproduces the sole surviving copy of The Females Legacy
held in the British Library.
