Publisher's Synopsis
Of books to be put into the children's hands, there are, alas, few, and these often objectionable. Out of sight, the best in the field is Mrs. Charles Bray's "Elements of Morality," in which the chief duties are traversed, in principle and detail, in small space, with winning simplicity, elevated tone, and admirable style. It is a book that ought daily to be in the hands of every parent, teacher, and child in the land.
