Description

94 pages. Authorized by the Council of Public Instruction of Ontario. "Deny the divine origin of Scripture and nevertheless you must keep the volume (Bible) as a kind of text book of morality, if indeed you did not wish the banishment from our houses of all that is lovely and sacred, and breaking up, through the lawlessness of ungovernable passion, of the quiet and beauty which are yet around our familes." - from Prefatory Notice. Contains 16 lessons. Somewhat above-average wear and soiling to embossed black cloth-covered boards. Binding intact. Prior owner's name upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Foxing to endpapers and contents. Valuable historical evidence of the prominence once placed upon Christian education and morality in the schools of Ontario. Author was a very influential Canadian in his day. A rare surviving copy. Book
