Youth’s Monitor

Unknown artist

This edition of <i> Youth's monitor, or, Histories of the lives of young persons</i> was written by an unknown author with the initials J.R. and published by George W. Mentz in 1815. The 127 page book related 14 histories of young people who looked to the Bible for their guiding principles, while keeping their final destination in mind at all times. Though the author claimed that the stories reflected true histories, they cleaved so closely to the general structure of scriptural morality lessons that it is doubtful they occurred as stated.
