Sinopsis
Thoughtful meditations on faith, family, and social duty. A collection of essays and scenes that illuminate everyday life in a moral, reflective voice.

- Examination of how best to educate girls for moral and religious generation.
- Warm depictions of a thoughtful household and acts of charity in the community.

Excerpt from The Listener, Vol. 2 of 2
If we can succeed in showing the mother that she has left a duty unperformed towards her infant - a duty of paramount importance - yea, one of far greater consequence than those even which she so assiduously performs for its bodily comfort; if we can convince her that any of the bad passions which agitate, the evil dispositions which deform, and the vicious inclinations which degrade, the human character, are under her control, are attributable to her neglect, and may be prevented by her exertions; she will no longer be idle, she will no longer be negligent and indifferent as to the moral health of her offspring. Mother's Magazine.
As soon as a group of little creatures peep out from the nursery, every body asks the mother how she means to educate them; and she, with maternal anxiety, begins to inquire for the best method.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book engages with the concept of Christian motherhood, arguing mothers ought to take on the primary responsibility of educating their children, while acknowledging the inevitable domestic duties and claims of their husbands. The author's compelling case against outsourcing education to boarding schools or governesses is built on Christian principles and an understanding of the nature and purpose of women and children in society. The author presents alluring examples that subtly criticize the neglect and selfishness inherent in many contemporary parenting choices, and raises questions around the priorities of the average mother. At the same time, the book highlights the wonderful and fulfilling advantages a mother's teachings can provide to children under her care, ultimately establishing the significance of her role in the formation of their virtue. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
