ADMONITORY EPISTLES

FROM A

GOVERNESS TO HER LATE PUPILS;

COMPRISING

A BRIEF VIEW OF THOSE DUTIES, THE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH IS MOST
LIKELY TO PROMOTE THEIR HAPPINESS IN THIS LIFE, AND, THROUGH
THEIR SAVIOUR'S MERITS, ENSURE TO THEM THE JOYS OF ETERNITY.

BY JANE SMITH.

Let not the young my precepts shun,

Who slight good counsels are undone.

COTTON.

LONDON:

SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, AND CO.

DRAKE, BIRMINGHAM.

1842.

725.

TO THE BELOVED PUPILS

OF THEIR SINCERELY ATTACHED GOVERNESS

THESE

ADMONITORY EPISTLES

ARE MOST AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED,

IN THE HUMBLE HOPE THAT HE WHO HATH GRACIOUSLY CONDESCENDED

TO BLESS THE RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION ALREADY IMPARTED, WILL CAUSE THESE LETTERS TO BE INSTRUMENTAL TO THEIR GROWTH IN

GRACE. TO THIS PRECIOUS GRACE SHE MOST EARNESTLY COMMENDS

THEM; ASSURED THAT HE WHO HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN ANY ONE OF THEM, WILL CARRY IT ON TO THE END.

ADVERTISEMENT.

IT is with feelings of the deepest anxiety the author presumes to present this little work to the public. It was originally intended only for her own private pupils, but at the request of numerous friends, she has ventured to send it forth into the world; trusting that those young persons who peruse it may be induced to turn from the error of their ways, and "learn to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith they are called." The author having stated her motive for appearing before the public, has now only to solicit from the candid reader that indulgence, which she humbly hopes will not be denied.
