Old heads on young shoulders: or, youth's pleasing guide to knowledge, wisdom, and riches. In a series of engaging, instructive and entertaining histories, drawn from real life; and related in such a manner as to amuse the young readers, and convey useful knowledge in the most delightful manner. Designed to guard youth against the snares that are generally laid for them at their first setting out in the world by the artful and wicked of both sexes; and shewing the dangerous effects of giving a loose to the passions. The whole intended to display the amiableness of virtue and the deformity of vice, in the most striking colours.
