Summary:

"Moral, like physical science, is reducible to a few elementary principles. To bring these within the comprehension of the youthful mind has been my object in the volume which I now offer to those whose high office it is to initiate the youth of our country into all the various departments of knowledge, and to educate them to usefulness and happiness. It is for Christianity to establish a principle of high and lofty honor, and distribute the streams of social and domestic virtue over the desert wilds of the moral world, until it shall rejoice and be glad, and blossom in the beauty and fragrance of the rose"--Preface.
