THE

ELEMENTS

OF.-CHARACTER.

BY

MARY G. CHANDLER.

“ An exclusively intellectual education leads, by a very obvious process, to
hard-heartedness and the contempt of all moral influences. An exclusively
moral education tends to fatuity by the over-excitement of the sensibilities.
An exclusively religious education ends in insanity, if it do not take a directly
opposite course and lead to atheism." - EDINBURGH REVIEW.
