Synopsis
The Practical Moral Lesson Book by Charles Hole is a compendium of moral instruction designed for use in schools and homes. It forms part of Stevens and Hole’s School Series (New Code 1871) and aims to present a comprehensive, unsectarian approach to practical morality drawn from Scripture and eminent authors. The book organizes lessons into three broad duties: to oneself, to others, and to God, and employs a variety of formats, including prefatory notes, dialogues, stories, proverbs, and simple exercises. Themes include justice, honesty, integrity, generosity, mercy, sympathy, patriotism, and peace. The Second Book, The Duties Men Owe to One Another, expands on the social nature of man, the advantages of society, and many specific duties toward parents, teachers, friends, neighbours, the sick, the poor, the aged, and the state. Although rooted in religious tradition, the text presents morality in accessible language for young readers and teachers.
