Paul Prescott's Charge

Paul Prescott's Charge: A Story for Boys

TO The Boys WHOSE MEMORY GOES BACK WITH ME TO THE BOARDING SCHOOL AT POTOWOME THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR.

Preface
"PAUL PRESCOTT'S CHARGE" is presented to the public as the second volume of the Campaign Series. Though wholly unlike the first volume, it is written in furtherance of the same main idea, that every boy's life is a campaign, more or less difficult, in which success depends upon integrity and a steadfast adherence to duty.

How Paul Prescott gained strength by battling with adverse circumstances, and, under all discouragements, kept steadily before him the charge which he received from his dying father, is fully told; and the author will be glad if the record shall prove an incentive and an encouragement to those boys who may have a similar campaign before them.
