Description
Excerpt from Jerry, or the Sailor Boy Ashore Being
The story of J erry, while possessing not the entire completeness of other volumes of the series, owing to the lamented death of the author before he had finished the work, will be found wanting in none of those attractions which have secured for the Aimwell Stories their great popularity. Its design is to show the folly of restiveness under parental restraint, and the blighting in?uence upon character of vicious or low associates; and thus to incite the young reader to the prompt performance of filial duty, and to cherish those high aims which are the basis of manly character. J er ry's own story of his adventures will be found to contain much useful information pertaining to sailor life, and to the portions of the world which he visited; while the whole work, like its predecessors, has been written with our motto in mind, Precepts may lead, but exam ples draw.
