Synopsis

Questions To Be Resolved: Or, A New Method Of Exercising The Attention Of Young People by Madame De La Fite. This English edition presents a translated French instructional work that trains the minds of children through dialogue, questions, anecdotes, and moral tales. The book centers on Madame de Sainval, a mother who educates her daughters Sophia and Paulina by blending religious instruction, moral philosophy, and engaging exercises such as card-based “oracles” and Q&A dialogues. Across Dialogues I–XVIII, it covers definitions, rhetoric, virtue, and the exercises that sharpen attention and judgment, often pairing discussion with entertaining yet didactic narratives. Included are moral parables (Zara and Zarina), exempla such as Walter Mifflin and James, and essays on fortitude, toleration, and beneficence. The volume blends religion, philosophy, and literature to cultivate virtue and self-mastery in youth, pairing instruction with amusement to sustain interest and improve moral discernment.
