Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Angel and the Demon: A Tale of Modern Spiritualism
WE think few mothers can read this volume with out being struck with the great importance of care in regard to the dispositions and moral qualities of those into whose bands they place their children. There are sad disorders in society at the present time, and in?uences of a baleful character at work: above all things, let tender, innocent children be kept Wholly beyond their sphere. In but rare cases should there be a delegation of the mother's duties: extreme ill health is, perhaps, the only excuse for such delegation; but when it is made, let the nurse or governess be of known pure life and firm integ rity. There should be no guess-work here; n trusting of a stranger, unless under the amplest testimonials from known parties; for wrong done to childhood is, too often, wrong done for the whole life. But we can only hint here at what we have.
