The Hearth-Stone;
THOUGHTS UPON HOME LIFE IN OUR CITIES.
BY SAMUEL OSGOOD,
AUTHOR OF “STUDIES IN CHRISTIAN BIOGRAPHY,” “GOD WITH MEN,” ETC.
FOURTH EDITION.
One Volume, 12mo. Cloth. Price $1.
Criticisms of the Press.
“This is a volume of elegant and impressive essays on the domestic relations and religious
duties of the household. Mr. Osgood writes on these interesting themes in the most
charming and animated style, winning the reader's judgment rather than coercing it to the
author's conclusions. The predominant sentiments in the book are purity, sincerity, and
love. A more delightful volume has rarely been published, and we trust it will have;
wide circulation, for its influence must be salutary upon both odl and young.”
—Commercial
Advertiser.
“The `Hearth-Stone' is the symbol of all those delightful truths which Mr. Dsgood here
connects with it. In a free and graceful style, varying from deep solemnity to the most
genial and lively tone, as befits his range of subjects, he gives attention to wise thoughts
on holy things, and homely truths. His volume will find many warm hearts to which it
will address itself.”
—Christian Examiner.
