Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Waste Not, Want Not Stories
Hence it seems well worth while to make this collee tion of the best of the stories and put them in a form to attract the youthful reader. The title I have chosen indi cates their character. They are all stories with a purpose. They teach thrift and honesty, industry and manliness. We see in them that people feel cheerful and happy when they are employed, and we find in them antidotes for pride, for ill humor, and hastiness of temper, and for the tendency to admire and imitate the fashions of the time being. The stories are dramatic, and arouse hope, fear, and curiosity; there is always brisk conversation and the sentiment is admirable.
