Written when children read sermons on conduct, Abbott's manual lays out filial duty chapter by familiar chapter: obedience, honesty, gratitude, and the home as a child's first school. A window into how the 1830s raised its sons and daughters. For curious parents and historians of childhood. Read how it was done.

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.
