The Guide, or Counsellor of human life : containing miscellaneous pieces, on a variety of useful and entertaining subjects. Calculated to improve the understanding;--rectify the will;--purify the passions;--form the manners, and direct the minds of youth to the pursuit of proper objects, and instructing them in the ways of a moral, civil and religious life. Treated in a manner suited to the taste of ingenious readers.--All that variety of thought; all that fineness and briskness of fancy, which renders them as delightful as useful, is herein curiously wrought. The whole closed with an exhortation, addressed, first, to the young, second, to those advanced in years. [Three lines of Scripture texts] By the editor, Preceptor of youth's education.
