Publisher's Synopsis
The duty of imparting Religious Instruction to others is, for all these upon whom it devolves, a very serious and important duty; and highly advantageous, when properly discharged, both to the Instructor and the Instructed. IIow very desirable, therefore, it is, that all who undertake this important and responsible duty should fit themselves for discharging it in a proper luanner! And it is with the view of assisting them in this that the following "A Full Course of Instructions for the Use of Catechists" is presented to them. It claims not, indeed, to be entirely the original composition of him who presents it; but professes to be, in a great measure, selected and compiled from various Authors. The Instructions are drawn up in a condensed form, with the design of rendering them more useful to those, for whose assistance they are mainly intended. For, thereby, preparation for instructing becomes more easy; and, moreover, something is left to be drawn out by the Catechist.
