The Aimwell Stories.
BY WALTER AIMWELL, AUTHOR OF ‘OSCAR,’ ‘BOY’S OWN GUIDE,’ ETC. With Illustrations. BOSTON: GOULD AND LINCOLN. 59 WASHINGTON STREET. NEW YORK: SHELDON, LAMPORT & BLAKEMAN. 115 NASSAU STREET. 1855.
Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1853, by Gould and Lincoln, In the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. ANDOVER: J. D. FLAGG. Stereotyper and Printer.
The story of Clinton is designed mainly to illustrate by example the importance of early habits of obedience and industry; the danger of mingling with unprincipled and vicious companions; and the necessity of being able to say no, when tempted to do wrong. It is also designed to awaken in boys a stronger taste for the quiet and innocent pursuits and pleasures of home-life,—a taste which can hardly be overestimated, as one of the Heaven-appointed safeguards of youthful virtue.
Winchester, Mass.
