📘 Charles A. Goodrich was a Reverend in the 1st Congressional Church in the United States of America. He wrote Bible studies, along with many works on Christianity, but also on other subjects, such as the history of America, and Greek grammar. This particular book details the importance of the mother in the raising of children. It is written from a Christian viewpoint, as it was in the 19th century, and discusses the role of the mother and her duties in regard to the guidance of her offspring. To compliment the republication of this work, a short introductory biography has been included to help place the book in its historical context.
