It is much easier to say what one shall not do than what one must do to change self-will into strength of character, slyness into prudence, the desire to please into amiability, restlessness into personal initiative.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
