Excerpt from How to Be a Man: A Book for Boys, Containing Useful Hints on the Formation of Character
Who reads a preface Many do not but jump at once into the middle of a book But it is well to know something about a book, before reading it; and Who so likely to give you information respecting the contents of a book as the Author him self? I wish to see the youth of my country come forward Upon the stage of life, models of excellence, With characters formed for the times in Which they are to act. How much influence my book may have, in securing such a result, I cannot tell; but my design in writing it has been, to contribute Something towar'd forming the character of some of those Who are to be our future electors, legislators, governors.
