Book Description

Excerpt from Mentor, or the Moral Conductor of Youth From the Academy to Manhood: A Work, the Result of Actual but Painful Experience Candidly Stated, and Usefully Adapted to the Level of Youthful Understanding; Being a Sequel to the Art of Teaching, or Communicating Instruction, and Digested on the Same Principle IN addition to the Improved Plan of Teaching which I have lately Offered to public notice, there has always appeared to me to be something wanted, on a similar principle, as a Go ide to youth from the Academy to Manhood, arranged in that attractive and useful way, in which the subject may, with so much ad vantage, be placed before them. Precepts resemble pictures; they have form and colour, but want life and motion and, therefore, to render them truly efficacious, they ought to be enforced by obvious and unquestionable examples.
