Excerpt from The Arts of Beauty or Secrets of a Lady's Toilet: With Hints to Gentlemen on the Art of Fascinating It is to guard women against these monstrous impo sitionf, and to save them from such needless a'nd useless expenditures, that I have encumbered this work with so many recipes. They were, many Of them, given me by celebrated beauties who used them themselves; and most Of them were, originally, written in the French, Spanish, German, and Italian languages. In translat ing them, I am painfully impressed that I may have used many unprofessional terms, even if I have com mitted no worse blunders but, if my meaning is intel ligible, they may, I think, be relied upon as the safest and best preparations which a lady can employ in her toilet.
