The Child at Home; or, the Principles of Filial Duty familiarly
Illustrated. By JOHN S. C. ABBOTT. Woodcuts. 16mo, Cloth, $1 00.
The duties and trials peculiar to the child are explained and
illustrated in this volume in the same clear and attractive manner
in which those of the mother are set forth in the "Mother at Home."
These two works may be considered as forming a complete manual of
filial and maternal relations.
MOTHER AT HOME.
The Mother at Home; or, the Principles of Maternal Duty familiarly
Illustrated. By JOHN S. C. ABBOTT. Engravings. 16mo, Cloth, $1 00.
This book treats of the important questions of maternal
responsibility and authority; of the difficulties which the mother
will experience, the errors to which she is liable, the methods
and plans she should adopt; of the religious instruction which she
should impart, and of the results which she may reasonably hope will
follow her faithful and persevering exertions. These subjects are
illustrated with the felicity characteristic of all the productions
of the author.
PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
Practical Christianity. A Treatise specially designed for Young Men.
By JOHN S. C. ABBOTT. 16mo, Cloth, $1 00.
It is characterized by the simplicity of style and appositeness of
illustration which make a book easily read and readily understood.
It is designed to instruct and interest young men in the effectual
truths of Christianity. It comes down to their plane of thought, and,
in a genial, conversational way, strives to lead them to a life of
godliness.--_Watchman and Reflector._
It abounds in wise and practical suggestions.--_N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser._
