Excerpt from The Works of Mrs. Sherwood, Vol. 2: Being the Only Uniform Edition Ever Published in the United StatesI must not forget to say, that Mr. Fairchild had a school for poor boys in the next village, and Mrs. Fair child one for girls. I do not mean that they taught the children entirely themselves, but they paid a master and mistress to teach them; and they used to take a walk two or three times a week to see the children and to give rewards to those who had behaved well. When Lucy and Emily and Henry were obedient, their papa and mamma were so kind as to let them go with them to see the schools; and then they always contrived to have some little things ready to carry with them, as presents to the good children.Mr. And Mrs. Fairchild had been brought to the know ledge of God in the early part of their lives.It is the greatest blessing which we can possibly re. Ceive, to be made to know our God, and to be made acquainted with all that he has done for our salvation. It is the work of the Spirit to bring us to this knowledge; and they who are thus enlightened, have new hearts given them, and are entirely changed, - insomuch, that they may be called new creatures: and the way by which we may know those whose hearts are changed through the power of the Spirit, is, that they love God above all things, and seek the everlasting good of their friends on earth with a degree of earnestness which makes them despise all other things in comparison.So it was with Mr. And Mrs. Fairchild; they did not wish their dear little children to be handsome, or rich, or powerful in the world; all that they desired for them was the blessing of God; without which, all that this world can give is nothing worth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the Fairchild Family, or the Child's Manual, Vol. 1: Being a Collection of Stories, Calculated to Show the Importance and Effects of a Religious EducationMr. And mrs. Fairchild lived very far from any town; their house stood in the midst of a garden, which in the summer time was full of fruit and sweet flowers. Mr. Fairchild kept! Only two servants, Betty and John; Betty's business was to clean the house, cook the dinner, and milk the cow and John waited at table, worked in the garden, fed the pig, and took care of the meadow in which the cow grazed.Mr. And Mrs. Fairchild had three children Lucy, who was about nine years old when these stories began: Emily who was next in age: and Henry, who was between six and seven. These little children did not go to school: Mrs. Fairchild taught Lucy and Emily, and Mr. Fairchild taught little Henry. Luc and Emily learned to read, and to do various kindys of needle-work. Lucy had begun to write, and took great pains with her writing their mamma also taught them to sing psalms and hymns, and they could sing several very sweetly. Little Henry, too, had a great notion of singing.Besides working and reading, the little girls could do many useful things they made their beds, rubbed the chairs and tables in their rooms, fed the fowls and when John was busy, they laid the cloth for dinner, and were ready to fetch anything which their papa or mamma might want.Mr. Fairchild taught Henry everything that was proper for little boys in his station to learn; and when he had finished his lessons in a morning, his papa used to take him very often to work in the garden; for Mr. Fairchild had great pleasure in helping John to keep the garden clean. Henry had a little basket, and he used to carry the weeds and rubbish in his basket out of the garden, and do many such other little things as his papa set him to do.I must not forget to say, that Mr. Fairchild had a school for poor boys in the next village, and Mrs. Fairchild one for girls. I do not mean that they taught the children entirely themselves, but they paid a master and mistress to teach them and they used to take a walk two or three times a week to see the children, and to give rewards to those who had be haved well.
