About This Item
New York: H.C. Sleight, Clinton Hall [and:] Boston: Pierce and Parker, 1831. First Edition. 85, [3]pp. 16mo. Publisher's original glazed and polished cloth with printed label to upper cover. Mild wear to binding, some internal foxing; very good.
Persuasive work on the value of the Bible and its teachings, eventually republished in London, and favorably reviewed for its practical wisdom and brevity. In two parts, the second part emphasizes the importance of an elevated religious character for young men to attain.

In Lake Forest, near Chicago, Dickinson established a Young Ladies' Seminary. He was further known for his temperance work.
