Table of Contents
VOLUME THE FIRST
CHAPTER I
Gives the reader room to guess at what is to ensue, though ten to one but he finds himself deceived
CHAPTER II
Shews Miss Betsy in a new scene of life, and the frequent opportunities she had of putting in practice those lessons she was beginning to receive from her young instructress at the boarding-school
CHAPTER III
Affords matter of condolence, or raillery, according to the humour the reader happens to be in for either
CHAPTER IV
Verifies the old proverb, that one affliction treads upon the heels of another
CHAPTER V
Contains nothing very extraordinary, yet such things as are highly proper to be known
CHAPTER VI
May be of some service to the ladies, especially the younger sort, if well attended to
CHAPTER VII
Is a medley of various particulars, which pave the way for matters of more consequence
CHAPTER VIII
Relates how, by a concurrence of odd circumstances, Miss Betsy was brought pretty near the crisis of her fate, and the means by which she escaped
CHAPTER IX
Contains such things as might be reasonably expected, after the preceding adventure
CHAPTER X
Gives the catastrophe of the Oxford ramble, and in what manner the young ladies returned to London
CHAPTER XI
CHAPTER XII
Is little more than a continuance of the former
CHAPTER XIII
Contains some part of the history of Miss Forward's adventures, from the time of her leaving the boarding-school, as related by herself to Miss Betsy
CHAPTER XIV
Concludes Miss Forward's narrative, and relates some farther particulars of Miss Betsy's behaviour, on hearing a detail she so little expected
CHAPTER XV
Brings many things on the carpet, highly pleasing to Miss Betsy, in their beginning, and no less perplexing to her in their consequences
CHAPTER XVI
Presents the reader with the name and character of Miss Betsy's third lover, and also with some other particulars
CHAPTER XVII
Is of less importance than the former, yet must not be omitted
CHAPTER XVIII
Treats on no fresh matters, but serves to heighten those already mentioned
CHAPTER XIX
Will make the reader little the wiser
CHAPTER XX
Contains an odd accident, which happened to Miss Betsy in the cloysters of Westminster Abbey
CHAPTER XXI
Gives an explanation of the former, with other particulars, more agreeable to the reader in the repetition, than to the persons concerned in them
