Much has been written on the marked increase in literacy and publication of the later seventeenth century, especially among women, and on the girls’ schools and educational tracts of the late eighteenth century. This paper uses a sampler – that quintessential emblem of female education – to explore the range of education for girls in the capital in the missing first half of the eighteenth century.
