The Student's Manual: Designed By Specific Directions, to Aid in Forming and Strengthening the Intellectual and Moral Character and Habits of the Student (Classic Reprint)

Old World I know not how many editions, nor in how many lan guages it has been printed, sometimes with, and sometimes without, the authors name; sometimes as an imposing, beautiful volume, and sometimes dwarfed down to the dimensions of a good-sized tract. As nearly as I can learn, not less than one hundred thousand copiea have been sold across the waters. But the most gratifying circumstance connected with this book is, that, from all parts of the world, I constantly receive letters from those whom I never expect to see in this world, who, of their own accord, write to the author in terms of gratitude so warm that I am almost afraid to read them. I have added notes to this new edition; gathered, with more labor than would at first appear, from different sources, which, I hope, will be useful to the reader. They came from so many different quarters that I could not, in all cases, give credit to the pages from which I have drawn them. When I wrote this volume, I felt a deep interest in students, because I had just passed through their trials and temptations; and now, having children whose feet are just placed upon the sandy hill of learning, I feel an interest no less deep, even if it seem more selfish. Most sincerely do I return my thanks to the unknown frienda who have so often cheered me with words of approbation and testimonials of usefulness, and most truly do I thank iny heavenly Father for having been pleased to own an instrument so unworthy, as a benefactor to minds created inH is image. PITTSPIELD, JAN.
