RECOMMENDATIONS. 



Extract of a letter from Professor Stuart, to the Author. 



" I thank you very cordially for your Student's Manual. I have 

 not found time yet to read it through; but I have read a number of 

 chapters, and highly approve of both the design and execution. It 

 cannot fail to do good. It will attract by its manly independence of 

 tone, as well as by the sparkling brilliancy of its thoughts. Macte 

 virtute ! Persevere in your own advice, and it cannot be that you 

 will not reap a bountiful harvest." 



Pro7n the Knickerbocker. 



" We do not often meet with a book which contains a greater 

 amount of sound counsel, and honest sense, than this. The views 

 of the author are in general most judicious ; the plans he lays out 

 and enforces, are good ; and action upon them could scarcely fail 

 to be productive of the best results. He has brought to his task a 

 mind whose experience has been large, and whose acquirements 

 and discrimination are every where apparent. Ends desirable to 

 be reached, are pointed out with remarkable perspicuity, and the 

 whole scope and intention of the volume cannot be too highly 

 praised." 



From the Episcopal Recorder, Philadelphia. 



'' This book is just what the title intimates. From our knowl- 

 edge of the author's mind, we should expect, what we find on exam- 

 ination a truly valuable work. It supplies a vacancy which no 

 other work has filled. It evinces a thorough acquaintance with 

 the dangers, propensities and excellencies of youthful students, 

 and a warm and discriminating affection for their welfare and hap- 

 piness. It discusses a great variety of subjects, and all with ease, 

 energy and practical sagacity. No student should fail to possess it, 

 and io use it as a manual. It abounds in the most important coun- 

 sels, in valuable and striking thoughts and illustrations. Everything 

 is spoken out fully, with a strong perception of its application, as 

 by one who knows others in knowing himself. We recommend it 

 to all young men who are concerned to cultivate their minds and 

 to be respectable and happy in life."
