O knihe

Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. Thomas Scott, Rector of Aston Sandford, Bucks: Abridged From His Life Compiled by His Son

It is the character of the good man that he is more ambitions to please God than man. And if he lives so as to obtain the divine approbation, he leaves behind him a character worthy the imitation of those who would attain the same object. It is desirable that characters worthy of imitation be placed in such a light that all possible benefit may be derived from them. To youth especially, example is more alluring than precept is im pressive. And to youth the following memoir is presented in the hope that While they endeavour to avoid the follies of his younger years, they will imitate the virtues, of him who is the subject of this memoir: that while they see his conquest over his turbulent passions, it may encourage them in self-command.
