Relates only to such things as the reader may reasonably expect would happen
CHAPTER II
Contains only some few particulars of little moment in themselves, but serve to usher in matters of more importance
CHAPTER III
Has somewhat more business in it than the former
CHAPTER IV
If it were not for some particulars, might be as well passed over as read
CHAPTER V
Seems to be calculated rather for the instruction than entertainment of the reader
CHAPTER VI
Shews the different operations of the same passion, in persons of different principles and dispositions
CHAPTER VII
May be called an appendix to the former, as it contains only some passages subsequent to the preceding occurrences.
CHAPTER VIII
Is more full of business than entertainment
CHAPTER IX
Contains very little to the purpose
CHAPTER X
Contains an account of some transactions which, though they may not be very pleasing in the repetition, nor are of any great consequence to Miss Betsy, would render this history extremely deficient if omitted
CHAPTER XI
Is very well deserving the attention of all those who are about to marry
CHAPTER XII
Miss Betsy's innocence, as to the Denham affair, fully cleared up to Mr. Trueworth by a very extraordinary accident
CHAPTER XIII
Seems to promise a very great change for the better, both in the humour and conduct of Miss Betsy, in regard to those who professed themselves her lovers
CHAPTER XIV
Shews that Miss Betsy, whenever she pleased to exert herself, had it in her power to be discreet, even on occasions the most tempting to her honour and inclinations
CHAPTER XV
The terrible consequence which may possibly attend our placing too great a dependance on persons whose principles we are not well assured of, are here exemplified in a notable act of villainy and hypocrisy
CHAPTER XVI
Will not tire the reader
CHAPTER XVII
Love in death; an example rather to be wondered at than imitated
CHAPTER XVIII
Displays Miss Betsy in her penitentials, and the manner in which she behaved after having met with so much matter for the humiliation of her vanity; as also some farther particulars, equally worthy the attention of the curious
CHAPTER XIX
Presents the reader with some occurrences which, from the foregoing preparations, might be expected, and also with others that may seem more surprizing
CHAPTER XX
Contains divers things
CHAPTER XXI
Presents the reader with some prognosticks, on events in futuro
CHAPTER XXII
Will prove, by a remarkable instance of a high-raised hope suddenly disappointed, the extreme weakness of building our expectations upon mere conjecture
VOLUME THE FOURTH
CHAPTER I
Contains, among other particulars, an example of forgiving goodness and generosity, worthy the imitation of as many as shall read it
CHAPTER II
Is very full of business
