Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Daniel Defoe, Vol. 5 Sir, It is so customary to write prefaces to all books of this kind to introduce them with the more advantage into the world, that I cannot omit it, though on that account ´tis thought this work needs a preface less than any that ever went before it; the pleasant and delightful part speaks for itself; the useful and instructive part is so large, and capable of so many improvements, that it would employ a book large as itself, to make improvements suitable to the vast variety of the subject. Here´s room for just and copious observations, on the blessing and advantages of a sober and well-governed education, and the ruin of so many thousands of youths of all kinds in this nation for want of it; also how much public shools and charities might be improved to prevent the destruction of so many unhappy children, as, in this town, are every year bred up for the gallows.
