Dedicated to "Princesse Henriette de Lorraine" (Henrietta of Lorraine, Princess of Lixheim and Phalsbourg, 1605-1660), the 'Alphabet de l'Eccellence..' was a response to Jacques Olivier's "Alphabet de l'imperfection et malice des femmes." "Jacques Olivier" was the pseudonym of the Cordelier Alexis Trousset and his book was a wildly misogynistic work which caused considerable reaction in its day.

Samuel Richardson (baptised 19 August 1689 – 4 July 1761) was an English writer and printer best known for three epistolary novels: Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded (1740), Clarissa: Or the History of a Young Lady (1748) and The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753). He printed almost 500 works in his life, including journals and magazines, working periodically with the London bookseller Andrew Millar. Richardson had been apprenticed to a printer, whose daughter he eventually married. He lost her along with five sons, but remarried and had four daughters who reached adulthood, but no male heirs to continue the print shop. As it ran down, he wrote his first novel at the age of 51 and immediately joined the admired writers of his day. Leading figures he knew included Samuel Johnson and Sarah… Read More
