Excerpt from The Adventures of Congo in Search of His Master: An American Tale, Containing a True Account of a Shipwreck and Interspersed With Anecdotes Found on Facts; Illustrated With Engravings
This merit in the eyes of children will also recommend the work to such parents, as think with the author, that it is a great pity the young mind should ever lose its preference for truth, and that much harm has been done by allowing so large a portion of juvenile reading to consist of baby novels.
The history of Congo, though merely serving to connect the various anecdotes it contains, is also intended to illustrate the force and value of a religious education, and to show how good principles, early imbibed, will enable even a child to resist temptation, and struggle through the greatest difficulties; and that a proper trust and confidence in God soothes the most trying hours, and has its reward even in this world.
