ABSTRACT
The real history of Mary Wolstonecraft is short and simple. Mary Wolstonecraft, alias Imlay, alias Godwin, in the course of three years conceived, an adulterous passion for one man, which she could only cool by flying from the kingdom. She made two attempts to commit suicide, and lived, in a state of prostitution with two other men, the last of whom became her husband and published this story, of her amours, or at least of as much of them as she thought-frt-to-entrust to him. Nobody will deny that M—y H—s (whom the reader must confound with Charlotte H—s of commodious memory) is perfectly well qualified for furnishing Messrs. Johnson and Philips with licentious novels and lying necrologifts; and that she is in all respects fitted to be the biographer and successor of Mary Wolftonecraft, F—i, O—e, Imlay, Godwin, &c. &c.
