About this book
The History of Emily Montague, by Frances Brooke, is described as "In FOUR VOLUMES." One passage tells of "having seen a few days since at the Ursulines, an extreme lovely young girl". A passage lists "the procession of the nuns, the sweetness of their voices in the choir, the dignified devotion with which the charming enthusiast received the veil".
A passage on marriage says "Equality is the soul of friendship: marriage, to give delight, must join two minds, not devote a slave to the will of an imperious lord". The text has a speaker say "I have always wished the word obey expunged from the marriage ceremony". A writer says "the two happiest people I ever knew were a country clergyman and his wife, whose whole income did not exceed one hundred pounds a year".
