Moderation

A beautiful work by Barbara Hofland, the English writer of didactic, moral stories for children, poetry, and schoolbooks. Filled with interesting characters and a strong storyline, this work makes a delightful read. Excerpt from «Moderation» «When the Rector of Ravenhill arose from his breakfast table one spring morning in 18— and retired to his study, notwithstanding his three daughters were present, perfect silence reigned in the room until they were sensible that his library door was closed, and his steps directed to a certain bay window, which possessed the double advantage of seclusion from domestic sounds, and of a widely extended prospect over a beautiful country.»
