IRRESPONSIBLE PHILANTHROPISTS BEING SOME CHAPTERS ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF GENTLEWOMEN BY E. GENNA TELEGON SCHOOL FOUNDER 'Tais-toi, Jean Jacques, car on ne l'entend pas' BIBLIOTHECA FEB 1882 BODLEIANA LONDON C. KEGAN PAUL & CO., 1 PATERNOSTER SQUARE PREFACE. IN OFFERING this small volume to the public consideration, I should in justice add to the nom de guerre appearing on the title-page that of the lady who, as sub-manager of the Telegon School, has done me and the School such valuable service, and who has been my co-worker throughout these pages. Nor should I let the occasion pass without a word of recognition of the other ladies who, holding responsible positions in the School, have given ungrudging care to its prosperity.
