The flight of time opens the collection, and McGovern never lets you forget it. His chapters range over home, the duties of parents, youth, prudence in speech, and courtesy, moral essays swung through every room of ordinary life. Popular Victorian counsel with a journalist's pace. Time is flying; he suggests you use it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
