Excerpt from Royal Road to Happiness; Or the Picture Preacher: A Book of Pictures, Fables, Allegories and Anecdotes
The Royal Road to Happiness, or The Picture Preacher, is so called because it is designed, by the use of pictures, to instruct in the wise conduct of human life, so that its readers may journey in the Royal Road to Happiness, both here and hereafter.
The engravings have original peculiarities. Upon each is a printed sentence, presenting some moral truth or valuable lesson, while below each are Bible quotations. Thus the various articles and fables of the book, inclusive of the fables of ?sop, are all given extraordinary power by being fortified with the weighty, pungent words of Divine inspiration.
The object of Mr. Barber in these engravings is not to make pretty pictures, but to enforce moral truth.
