364 TO HER DAUGHTER. There is nothing, my Daughter, more mortifying than to write upon ſubjects that put me in mind of all my faults: by laying them open to you, I give up my right to reprimand you; I furniſh you with arms againſt myſelf. And I allow you freely to uſe them, if you ſee any vices in me inconſiſtent with the virtues that I recommend to you ; for all Advice and precepts want authority, when they are not ſupported by example.
END OF THE MARCHIONIS DI LAMBERT'S
ADTICK TO HIR DAUCHTSR."
