Letter VII.

THE CARD PARTY,

WITH THE

HISTORY OF THE STANLEY FAMILY.

MY DEAR CHILD,

I AM not one of those who regard a paffive obedience and blind fubmiffion on the part of the child as the best fecurity for reasonable hopes on that of the parent: much less do I think them the fuitable means of providing for those trials in this life, on which depends her happiness in a more perfect ftate of existence.

You are called upon as a rational being, and as created ultimately for immortality,
