"From an examination of 'The Royal
Path of Life,' I heartily endorse the above
recommendation."

'Having examined with some care the work entitled The Royal Path of Life,' I take pleasure in commending it as a highly useful and valuable book. It is not only a very sensible, but a very readable book- it will get much good, and only good from its handsomely printed and finely illustrated. Seldom does one meet with such an admirable compilation of wise and wholesome sentiments, covering the whole range of topics relating to individual and domestic well-being. Every young man and every young woman should possess it. I can honestly wish it a place in every family, where it will be read and re-read for its intrinsic value, and am thankful in these days especially, when our markets are overrun with shams, that such a work as 'The Royal Path' is brought to the notice of our community, and trust it will have a wide circulation."

'Having partially examined the work entitled 'The Royal Path of Life,' I find it to be a work of value, and would be a blessing in any household. It is written in the interest of Virtue, Morality and Christianity."

Rev. J. B. Quigg, P. E., M. E. Church,
Wilmington. Del., says:

"I have examined The Royal Path of Life,' and I think the idea of it excellent,

and the execution of it masterly. It is a book that everybody needs and should be in every family. It would be well for parents to read it aloud in the family circle, and encourage their children to read it for themselves. It is the book for the times, and its sound principles of morality and religion, its clear statements of man's duties to his fellow man and to his God, if known and understood, would go far to settle the present secular and religious unrest that threatens society, by pointing out the true 'Path' to success and happiness."

Professor George R. Thompson, Principal of the Friends' School, Wil mington, Del., says:

'After a somewhat hasty examination of 'The Royal Path of Life,' I am impressed with the fidelity with which the authors have endeavored to further their design of 'stimulating the youth to noble thoughts and actions.' If they have not marked out the exact limits of 'the royal path of life,' they have at least set no false guide-posts by the way.

"The work treats briefly, but interestingly, of such old-fashioned topics as 'Integrity,' 'Industry,' 'Slander,' 'Vanity,' etc.-subjects well worth consideration in these days of loose moral notions. It may not appeal strongly to the tastes of the professedly intellectual class of the community, but for the people it will have solid attractions. That its contents are so varied will be a great recommendation to those who have not the means to purchase many books. But perhaps a still greater recommendation is that it contains nothing that parents need fear to have their children read, and much that will interest, instruct and guide them."
