THE principal aim (1) of those who write for the instruction of youth, should be the gentle cultivation of their tender minds, and the inculcation of such principles as will fertilize them, and cause them to produce good and wholesome fruits.

The happiness of mankind depends so much upon this, that no trouble should be thought too great to obtain such a desirable result.

Moral subjects, maxims, etc., are highly essential; they may be sweetened and distributed in a general mass of interesting matter, so that the children may not taste the least tincture of ennui, which might cause them to endure, rather than to enjoy, instruction. They should be led, rather than driven, into the path which is to conduct them to happiness.

Convinced of this important truth, I,have endeavoured to render my book, at once useful and agreeable, and to offer, at the same time, amusement and instruction; which are far from being incompatible.

(1) Aim, but, intention, point de mire.
