The Recorder, Women's Rights, Recorder, August 3, 1848, accessed December 20, 2013, http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trr040.html.
Although the exact author of the comment is unknown, the article appears to be written from the point of the newspaper as a whole. They appear to believe that the womens movement of the time was "excessively silly", indirectly stating that they do not treat the document written by women to aid in the womens revolution, as a real document by placing such words as declaration in quotations. This implies they do not treat the document as a real declaration, rather as a silly waste of time done by people of lesser stature than themselves. The author also, however, devotes the rest of the article to including the whole of the document in question for the readers to decide whether or not they agree with the points brought up in it or not. This is very important as the argument over whether women should be allowed more rights has reached a very important point in history, and allowing the readers of the newspaper be informed on the subject is important so they are able to make their own decision. There are some limits to this document because it only provides one group of peoples opinions and does not allow the opposing group to give their own reaction to the document.
