TO THE MEMORY OF HER,

WHO HAD FAITH IN THE BOY, WHO COUNSELLED AND COMFORTED THE MAN; WHO WAS GIVEN ME THAT I MIGHT KNOW

HOME IN ITS DAILY BEAUTY; WHOM ALONE

I KNEW AND LOVED AS

MY MOTHER.

IN giving the following pages to the public, I am not following my own desire or thought, but yielding to the request, made many times, and by those of various taste, experience, and age. I am glad to do any little good I may, conscious that the little I can do for others never can equal, certainly never can cancel, the good I have received from others. The reader will find here simply the result of observation and experience—not the vaunting of my own attainment, but rather the covert confession of short-coming- the word of one who knows better than he does. If that word shall, in any way, help any toward the home life I believe to be possible, I shall be humbly glad.

CAMBRIDGE, 26th October, 1863.
