ABSTRACT
In light of the rate at which the production of educational books grew during the nineteenth century, they perceive the eighteenth-century antecedents as negligible in comparison and comment on their waning influence in the pedagogical canon of the period. Overall, those who kept the legacy of Lambert and Leprince alive in the nineteenth century were quite supportive of their endeavors but ignored the entreaties on behalf of the girls' education that had motivated the writings of both women, be these writings initially private or resolutely public. Even though their moral lessons were in agreement with the major principles of a nineteenth-century female education, these subsequent Magasins became more rapidly obsolete than the original one, possibly because the discrepancy between their content and the social situation of adolescent girls in the nineteenth century was perceived as too wide to give them continued relevance.
