Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Physiological and Moral Management of Infancy: For the Use of Parents To illustrate this proposition, we may compare a person who undertakes the management of the human constitution, whether in infancy or in maturity, with out any reference to the principles under. Which it acts, to a traveller who, without a map or a guide, wanders over a new country in search of some particular object or place. By some lucky chance, he may stumble at once upon the locality he is in search of, or reach it at length by some very circuitous route. But the proba bility is greater that, after wandering about in uncer tainty, he will be forced to return, weary and disap pointed with the fruitlessness of his journey. He, on the contrary, who adopts the guidance of principle, may be likened to a traveller who, carrying with him a map in which the chief features of the country are accurately laid down, advances with comparative cer tainty towards his aim. If, at any time, in couse quence of omissions or minor inaccuracies, he chances to wander from the right course, the map itself soon warns him of the fact, and at the same time, affords him the means of correcting the very error caused by its own imperfections.
