Home Influence: A Tale for Mothers and Daughters

*** Original and Unabridged Content. Made available by GOLDEN CLASSIC PRESS*** Synopsis: The second point she is desirous to bring forward, is her belief, that in childhood and youth the spa/sen senti ment is one of the safest guides to individual character; and that if, therefore, she have written more conversa tion than may appear absolutely necessary for the elucidation of Home In uence, or the interest of the narrative, it is from no wish to be diffuse, but merely to illustrate her own belief. Sentiment is the vehicle of thought, and thought the origin of action. Chil dren and vouth have very seldom the power to evince character by action, and scarcely if ever understand the mystery of thought; and therefore their unrestrained conversation may often greatly aid parents and teachers in acquiring a correct idea of their natural disposition, and in giving hints for the mode of education each may demand.
