Prose and Verse, calculated to produce a INIoral Influence on the 

 Hearts and Lives of Young Persons. By the Authors of The Young 

 Christian; The Couner-Stone; The Teacher, &c. 3s. 



The design of this Reader is, to exert a direct and powerful moral influence 

 upon the ht-arts of children ; such an influence as shall make them faithful 

 and industrious in the improvement of their time, obedient and affectionate to 

 their parents, kind towards their playmates, and upright and honest in their 

 intercourse with others. The compilers have honestly endeavoured to exclude 

 everything which they supposed would be unacceptable to any of the friends of 

 piety and morality, of whatever name.
