Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter of Advice to His Grandchildren, Matthew, Gabriel, Anne, Mary, and Frances Hale
I am now grown to a great age, (three score and four years, ) and am now hastening out of this world into a better; and you are all very young, and setting out for a voy age into this world, like small pinnaces into a dangerous and troublesome sea full of rocks, and shoals, and storms, and tempests, and I cannot do a more seasonable and fatherly office, than to prescribe you some rules and directions, which by the blessing of God, may be a help and guidance to you to steer and order your course through it when I am gone and this is the business of this letter.
