Excerpt from Extracts From the Note-Book of Mr. Percival Pug: Illustrated by Sketches From His Portfolio
In the following pages it has been the wish of the writer to convey sound moral and religious instruction. I have joined therewith a narrative illustrated with cuts, that the book might prove more attractive to the young: whether I have succeeded in joining instruction with amusement, I must leave others to judge. It requires, I conceive, that they should be united to form a good book; for the first alone will prove too dry for the generality of readers, and to read for entertainment, without improvement, is but a waste of time. It is worse than a waste.
The scenes exhibited in the engravings are, with one or two exceptions, representations of real occurrences which have taken place; though, perhaps, not precisely as related in the narrative.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows a mischievous young boy named Peter Pepper and his adventures as a farmer's son. The author intertwines these adventures with insights on the nature of stubbornness and anger, both in children and adults. Set in the 1800s, the book accurately depicts the preoccupations of rural, agricultural life. The author deftly employs the antics of Peter and his pig as a tool to delineate the human tendency to be headstrong and resistant to change, and asserts that such behavior results in negative consequences. Yet the author tempers the lesson with humor and a forgiving spirit, offering a path to repentance and change. Ultimately, this classic work speaks to readers of all ages about the importance of humility, kindness, and prudence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331175162_0
