Aphorisms on the Mental Culture and Training of a Child; With an Excerpt from Advice to a Mother on the Management of Her ChildrenPaperback, 7 June 2010

"Aphorisms on the Mental Culture and Training of a Child" is an 1872 work by Pye Henry Chavasse. While her works "Advice to a Mother" and "Counsel to a Mother" deal with the care and management of the physical body of a child, this particular volume concentrates on training and improving a child's mind. It includes short, aphoristic passages on a variety of childcare subjects that include to-the-point advice designed specifically for mothers. A timeless guide brimming with invaluable advice, "Aphorisms on the Mental Culture and Training of a Child" constitutes a must-read for young parents and others engaged in the care of young children. Contents include: "Preliminary Conversation", "Preface", "Aphorisms", and "Index". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an excerpt from Chavasse's "Advice to a Mother on the Management of Her Children".
