Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth's Companion and Counsellor The present work was first issued in 1857, and met with a gratifying degree of approval. It was so largely purchased as a gift-book from parents to their sons, and as a prize for distribution at schools, that it passed through numerous editions. Encouraged by this success, the author, with extended experience, has made some additions and other improvements, and now issues the work in a size uniform with his miscellaneous writings. The general design of the book is obvious. It is to Offer friendly counsel to the young on a variety of topics that practically concern their welfare, and which are not usually embraced in an educational routine. An endeavour is made to strengthen good resolutions in those who are quitting home to enter on the business of life, to' point out errors to be shunned, and, if possible, to inspire' hopes which can only be realised by high aims along with frugality, patient endurance, and industry. With the exception of appropriate quota tions, the whole of the hints, advices, and suggestions offered are a result of observation and experience during a busy life drawn out beyond the ordinary span, and conformable to generally accepted obligations.
