Página 4 - Published In order to cultivate the Principles of Virtue and Religion in the minds of the Youth of both sexes. A narrative which has its foundation in Truth and Nature; and at the same time that it agreeably entertains, by a Variety of curious and affecting Incidents, is entirely divested of all those Images which in too many Pieces calculated for amusement only, tend to inflame the minds they should instruct.
Página 121 - Much more lively and affecting," says one of the principal characters, " must be the style of those who write in the height of a present distress ; the mind tortured by the pangs of uncertainty (the events then hidden in the womb of fate) ; than the dry, narrative, unanimated style of a person relating difficulties and dangers surmounted, can be ; the relater perfectly at ease ; and if himself unmoved by his own story, not likely greatly to affect the reader.

Página 4 - The flowing Robes of Oratory may indeed amuse and amaze, but will never strike the Mind with solid Attention. In short, Sir, a Piece of this Kind is much wanted in the World, which is but too much, as well as too early debauched by pernicious Novels. I know nothing Entertaining of that Kind that one might venture to recommend to the Perusal (much less the Imitation) of the Youth of either Sex: All that I have hitherto read, tends only to corrupt their Principles, mislead their Judgments, and initiate...
Página 4 - I can't conceive why you should hesitate a Moment as to the Publication of this very natural and uncommon Piece. I could wish to see it out in its own native Simplicity, which will affect and please the Reader beyond all the Strokes of Oratory in the World; for those will but spoil it: and, should you permit such a murdering Hand to be laid upon it, to gloss and tinge it over with superfluous and needless Decorations, which, like too much Drapery in Sculpture and Statuary, will but...
Página 4 - Collections of the moft curious and polite Readers. For, as it borrows none of its Excellencies from the romantic Flights of unnatural Fancy, its being founded in Truth and Nature, and built upon Experience, will be a...
Página 3 - Circumstances interesting to Persons in common Life, as well as to those in exalted Stations. The greatest Regard is everywhere paid in it to Decency, and to every Duty of Life: There is a constant Fitness of the Style to the Persons and Characters described; Pleasure and Instruction here always go hand in hand: Vice and Virtue are set in constant Opposition, and Religion every-where inculcated in its native Beauty and chearful Amiableness...
Página 73 - ... to caution parents against the undue exercise of their natural authority over their children in the great article of marriage — to warn children against preferring a man of pleasure to a man of probity upon that dangerous but too commonly received notion, that a reformed rake makes the best husband...
Página 3 - Amiableness; not dressed up in stiff, melancholy, or gloomy Forms, on one hand, nor yet, on the other, debased below its due Dignity and noble Requisites, in Compliment to a too fashionable but depraved Taste. And this I will boldly say, that if its numerous Beauties are added to its excellent Tendency, it will be found worthy a Place, not only in all Families (especially such as have in them young Persons of either Sex) but in the Collections of the most curious and polite...
Página 73 - ... wel eens een losse maling wou geven. • Ik heb wel gehoort , dat vele dames , by de twaalf Geloofsartikelen ; — die gy immers wel pront kent , hoop ik? — dit tot het dertiende maken: « Ik geloof, dat de bekeerde lichtmis de beste man maakt.
