| Summary | "A Description of Millenium Hall" by Sarah Scott is a novel written in the mid-18th century. The narrative unfolds as a traveler recounts his experiences upon arriving at Millenium Hall, a place inhabited by an extraordinary community of virtuous women who engage in meaningful activities and pursue the betterment of society. The central characters introduced include the narrator, Mr. Lamont, and a group of enlightened ladies whose lives exemplify the principles of virtue and humanity. The opening of the novel introduces us to a picturesque journey to Millenium Hall, where the narrator and Mr. Lamont find themselves charmed by the idyllic surroundings and hospitable inhabitants of the hall. They are welcomed by a group of talented and virtuous women engaged in various artistic pursuits. The narrator's initial admiration soon leads to reflections on the ladies' ideals of charity and community, which serve as a counterpoint to the bustling life he experienced in London. The scene is set for deeper explorations of these characters and their philosophical musings about humanity and the cultivation of virtue throughout their stay.
