Printed on the title page: The Young Gentleman and Lady's Monitor, and English teacher's assistant: being a collection of select pieces from our best modern writers: calculated to eradicate vulgar prejudices and rusticity of manners, improve the understanding, rectify the will, purify the passions, direct the minds of youth to the pursuit of proper objects, and to facilitate their reading, writing, and speaking the English language, with elegance and propriety.
Particularly adapted for the use of our eminent schools and academies, as well as private persons, who have not an opportunity of perusing the works of these celebrated authors, from whence this collection is made.
Printed on title page: Divided into small portions for the ease of reading in classes.
