In this little volume, the author has not attempted to lay down any regular system of domestic education. His object has been to present leading principles — partially brought out into real life to give them a force beyond mere didactics — from which every thoughtful mother may deduce principles for specific application in her own family.
The book is rather a series of domestic pictures than a sustained narrative. This latter character could not have been given to it, without a sacrifice of much that the author wished to present. He hopes that it will be useful. He is sure that it will be so, if read aright.
