The story of a charming, daring, and determined lady who contemplates even murder to attain her love. It is all in vain, however, and her love transforms later into aggressive hatred. These Orders are taken up by the best Persons of the Town, young Maids of Fortune, who live together, not inclos'd, but in Palaces that will hold about fifteen hundred or two thousand of these Fille-Devotes, where they have a regulated Government, under a sort of Abbess, or Prioress; or rather, a Governante. They are oblig'd to a Method of Devotion, and are under a sort of Obedience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original.

There are a thousand things to be said of the Advantages this generous Passion brings tothose, whose Hearts are capable of receiving its soft Impressions; for 'tis not every one thatcan be sensible of its tender Touches. How many Examples, from History and Observation, could I give of its wondrous Power; nay, even to a Degree of Transmigration! How manyIdiots has it made wise! How many Fools eloquent! How many home-bred Squiresaccomplish'd! How many Cowards brave! And there is no sort of Species of Mankind onwhom it cannot work some Change and Miracle, if it be a noble well-grounded Passion, except on the Fop in Fashion, the harden'd incorrigible Fop; so often wounded, but neverreclaim'd: For still, by a dire Mistake, conducted by vast Opiniatrety, and a greater Portionof Self-love, than the rest of the Race of Man, he believes that Affectation in his Mein andDress, that Mathematical Movement, that Formality in every Action, that a Face manag'dwith Care, and soften'd into Ridicule, the languishing Turn, the Toss, and the Back-shake ofthe Periwig, is the direct Way to the Heart of the fine Person he adores; and instead ofcuring Love in his Soul, serves only to advance his Folly; and the more he is enamour'd, themore industriously he assumes (every Hour) the Coxcom
