Book Description
Excerpt from Adelaide and Theodore, or Letters on Education, Vol. 1: Containing All the Principles Relative to Three Different Plans of Education; To That of Princes, and to Those of Young Persons of Both Sexes It is from them I except the happiness of my future life, and I dedicate myself entirely to their education. I shall perhaps appear to the world to make a great and painful sacrifice: I shall also be accused of singularly and caprice, and indeed with reason. I cannot in this letter lay open to you all my ideas. They are too numerous and extensive. When I arrive at B -, I shall write you all the particulars, which you have a right to except from my confidence and friendship. Be assured, my dear Viscount, that I shall not lose sight of the delightful project we have formed, and which ought to draw still closer the bonds which unite us. Removing my son in his infancy from the examples of vice, in becoming his governor and his friend, am I not working for you as well as for myself? Since it is virtue alone can render him worthy the happiness you design for him. Farewell, dear Viscount: let me hear from you; be not too hasty in judging me, and above all do not condemn me, before you know all the motives which may influence my conduct. My wife is writing to yours a long letter: but knowing so well the Viscountess, she fears her vivacity, and entreats you to moderate its effect as much as possible. We are only in fear of her first letter, as we are sure time and reflection will not fail to justify us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Adelaide and Theodore, or Letters on Education, Vol. 3: Containing All the Principles Relative to Three Different Plans of Education; To That of Princes, and to Those of Young Persons of Both Sexes Oh! Mamma, let us keep her! She is so pretty, and looks so mild! - That is impossible! - But at least keep her here for some days - Well, I consent to that; and you, Adelaide, shall have the care of her; I have so many other employments... With all my heart... Mamma, she shall sleep in my chamber... Oh! the charming little creature! I will be her Governess!... I must talk to her in Italian. In short, as all this discourse had passed in French, the child did not understand one word of it. - Adelaide, embracing her tenderly, said, I am going to be your Mamma. - Shall I? At the word Mamma, the poor little thing wept bitterly, and cried, I have none! Adelaide fell on her neck, and, taking her in her arms, my Mamma will be yours, she said - The child then looked at me, her eyes still full of tears; is it true, said she, that I shall remain with you always?... She asked this question with so much simplicity, so tender an air, and sweet a tone of voice, that I felt it to the bottom of my heart - Yes, replied I, you shall never leave us. - These words made Adelaide as happy as the child, and more so, when I added, that I was really determined to keep her, because she appeared to be as sensible as she was pretty. - But, Mamma! said Adelaide, you have promised also, that I shall be her Governess - We shall see that, answered I, we will talk about it in the evening. - At half past eight, when the child was gone to bed, I had a long conversation on the subject with Adelaide.
