Original stories from real life: With conversations, calculated to regulate the affections, and form the mind to truth and goodness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
Children's stories, English; Didactic fiction, English
You are now candidates for my friendship, and on your advancement in
virtue my regard will in future depend. Write often to me, I will
punctually answer your letters; but let me have the genuine sentiments
of your hearts. In expressions of affection and respect, do not deviate
from truth to gain what you wish for, or to turn a period prettily.
Adieu! when you think of your friend, observe her precepts; and let the
recollection of my affection give additional weight to the truths which
I have endeavoured to instill; and, to reward my care, let me hear that
you love and practise virtue.
