Excerpt from Wild Nell: The White Mountain GirlEarly judicious training, like that which nell received when taken from her wild home, though seldom rewarded in a like brilliant manner, will yet, nevertheless, develop graces Of mind and heart, which might otherwise have lain hidden from sight forever. Of what transcendent importance then does it become to train up a child in the way he should go to cultivate all those nicer, finer sensibilities of his nature, which not even the fall from that Godlike image in which he was made has eradicated. To the mothers of our land is intrusted a work which angels well might covet, a work higher and loftier than the most inspired genius could ever reach, a work commenced here to be perfected and crowned hereafter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
