A book of 19th century moral and ethical instruction guiding young men toward a life of virtue, success, and religious piety.

Only in the moors of the 19th century can you open a book with the line "I love to look upon a young man." Simpler times.

Near Fine. Covers nice with slight scuffing to the front and spots of scuffing to the back. Binding tight and square. Previous owner gift inscription in pencil to the front fly leaf. Pages crisp and clean. Nice antiquarian book with light shelf wear.
