Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Memoirs of Emma Courtney: Look inside the book: In delineating the character of Emma Courtney, I had not in view these fantastic models: I meant to represent her, as a human being, loving virtue while enslaved by passion, liable to the mistakes and weaknesses of our fragile nature.-Let those readers, who feel inclined to judge with severity the extravagance and eccentricity of her conduct, look into their own hearts; and should they there find no record, traced by an accusing spirit, to soften the asperity of their censures-yet, let them bear in mind, that the errors of my heroine were the offspring of sensibility; and that the result of her hazardous experiment is calculated to operate as a warning, rather than as an example.-The philosopher-who is not ignorant, that light and shade are more powerfully contrasted in minds rising above the common level; that, as rank weeks take strong root in a fertile soil, vigorous powers not unfrequently produce fatal mistakes and pernicious exertions; that character is the produce of a lively and constant affection-may, possibly, discover in these Memoirs traces of reflection, and of some attention to the phaenomena of the human mind. ...Rash young man -why do you tear from my heart the affecting narrative, which I had hoped no cruel necessity would ever have forced me to review?-Why do you oblige me to recall the bitterness of my past life, and to renew images, the remembrance of which, even at this distant period, harrows up my soul with inconceivable misery?-But your happiness is at stake, and every selfish consideration vanishes.-Dear and sacred deposit of an adored and lost friend -for whose sake I have consented to hold down, with struggling, suffocating reluctance, the loathed and bitter portion of existence;-shall I expose your ardent mind to the incessant conflict between truth and error-shall I practise the disingenuousness, by which my peace has been blasted-shall I suffer you to run the wild career of passion-shall I keep back the recital, written upon my own mind in characters of blood, which may preserve the child of my affections from destruction

Mary Hays was born in 1759 into a middle class family in the London borough of Southwark. An independent spirit, at the age of 32 she was given a copy of Mary Wollstonecraft's 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman', and immediately became a convert to its proto-feminist philosophy. Writing under the pseudonym 'Eusebia', Hays published extensively, and was introduced to the reformer William Frend, a meeting which, for Hays, soon blossomed into something more than mere friendship. Against all contemporary social mores, Hays confessed her love to William Frend in explicit terms - but was summarily rebuffed. She nevertheless continued to pursue the object of her desires via letters and meetings, but with no more success (Frend married Sara Blackburne in 1808). Bitterly disappointed, Hays channeled her feelings into 'Memoirs of Emma Courtney', a semi-autobiographical novel that, like Hays herself, broke all the rules. Her heroine Emma falls in love with the handsome, enigmatic Augustus, but for reasons that he will never fully explain, Augustus refuses to return her affection. Emma will not be denied and, feeling her love to be pure, and her desires likewise, she lays bare to Augustus the innermost feelings of her heart, in terms that offended every Victorian value on 'appropriate' female conduct. Even more shocking, most of the missives in the novel were taken verbatim from Mary Hays' own explicit letters to William Frend. The book was execrated in many quarters as being 'in all points reprehensible, in the highest degree'. Even then, not everyone agreed, and modern-day critics have hailed 'Emma' as a pioneering work of feminist literature. On one level it is a simple tale of romance, of passion and ultimately (when Emma discovers, too late, Augustus' true feelings for her) of tragedy. But at the same time the book exposes a deeper tragedy: the lack of female education, the denial of female sexuality, and the 'criminal' curtailment of their potential.
