Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Looking-Glass for the Mind, or Intellectual Mirror: Being an Elegant Collection of the Most Delightful Little Storied Interesting Tales The following pages may be considered rather as a Collection of the Beauties of M. Berquin than as a literally abridged translation, of that work, several original thoughts and observations being occasionally introduced into different parts of them. The stories here collected are of the most interesting kind, since virtue is constantly represented as the fountain of happiness, and vice as the source of every evil. Nothing extravagant or romantic will be found in these tales: neither enchanted castles, nor supernatural agents, but such scenes are exhibited as come within the each of the observations of young people in common life; the whole being made familiar by an innocent turn of thought and expression, and applied to describe their amusements, their pursuits, and their necessities. As a useful and instructive Pocket Looking-Glass, we recommend it for the instruction of every youth, whether miss or master; it is a mirror that will not flatter them, not lead them into error; it displays the follies and improper pursuits of the youthful breast, points out the dangerous paths they sometimes tread, and clears the way to the Temple of Honour and Fame.
