About
Excerpt from The Teacher: Moral Influences Employed in the Instruction and Government of the Young
In regard to the anecdotes and narratives which are very freely introduced to illustrate principles in this work, the writer ought to state that, though they are all substantially true - that is, all except those which are expressly introduced as mere suppositions, he has not hesitated to alter very freely, for obvious reasons, the unimportant circumstances connected with them... He has endeavored thus to destroy the personality of the narratives without injuring or altering their moral effect.
