Tht PARENT, who beholds Lis beloved child pining away,
an; fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
',mile disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the eases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, h.:art disease, tithes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more frc-
quently than is at all suspected.

The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least 1
the relation and tesponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, he directed, and very much assisted in investigating and 1
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultiwistely the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked

the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
