First Sentence:	With the acknowledged equality of woman in general intellectual endowments, though tending in either sex to an appropriate development, with her admitted superiority to man in tact, sensibility, physical and moral endurance, quickness of perception, and power of accommodation to circumstances, give her for two or three generations equal advantage of mental culture, and the lords of creation will have to carry more guns than they do at present to keep her out of the enjoyment of any thing which sound reasoning and fair experience will show to be her rights.
