NOTE

TO PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND TEACHERS.

The purpose of the "Glen Morris Stories" is to sow the seed of pure,
noble, manly character in the mind of our great nation's childhood. They
exhibit the virtues and vices of childhood, not in prosy, unreadable
precepts, but in a series of characters which move before the imagination
as living beings do before the senses. Thus access to the heart is won by
way of the imagination. While the story charms, the truth sows itself in
the conscience and in the affections. The child is thereby led to abhor
the false and the vile, and to sympathize with the right, the beautiful,
and the true. To every parent, teacher, and guardian, who has affinity
with these high purposes, the "Glen Morris Stories" are most respectfully
inscribed by their fellow-laborer in the field of childhood.

Francis Forrester.
