The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hamilton (1756? 1816) received
her education at a day school from the age of eight, and later
recalled her childhood and schooldays fondly. However, intellectual
girls in the period were regarded with some suspicion, and she
remembered hiding from visitors those books that might be deemed
inappropriate for a young woman. Later embarking on a literary
career, she published in 1801 her Letters on Education, republished
in this second edition of 1801 2. Owing much to the theories of
John Locke as well as the period's standard conduct-book advice on
the education of girls, Hamilton's work offers detailed theoretical
explorations of how children learn. 'Be not afraid my good friend,
' she writes, 'that I intend making speculative philosophers of
your daughters.' Volume 2 begins with a comment on the necessity of
obtaining knowledge of our intellectual faculties, and how this
knowledge is to be acquired."
