Excerpt from Caroline Westerley, or the Young Traveller From Ohio
The contemplated course of publications will more especially embrace such works as are adapt ed, not to the extremes of early childhood or of advanced youth, but to that intermediate space which lies between childhood and the opening of maturity. When the tn'¿es of the nursery and the simple lessons of the school-room have ceased to exercise their beneficial in¿uence, but before the taste for a higher order of mental pleasure has es tablished a fixed ascendency in their stead. In the selection of works intended for the rising genera tion in this plastic period of their existence, when the elements of future character are receiving their moulding impress, the publishers pledge themselves that the utmost care and scrupulosity shall be exer cised. They are fixed in their determination that nothing of a questionable tendency on the score of sentiment shall find admission into pages conse crated to the holy purpose of instructing the thoughts, regulating the passions, and settling the principles of the young.
