Description
T. S. Arthur published these moral tales in Philadelphia in 1851. His short preface hopes the lessons will warn and guide many readers. The contents promise stories about a poor debtor, a Sunday Christian, and a man who could not get along. Other tales warn against haste to grow rich and against taking things for granted.
The opening story begins with a rich merchant praising one honest man. That man is Moale, a tailor. Each tale turns a small daily failing into a clear lesson. Arthur writes for household readers who want fiction with direct moral use.
