About this book
Excerpt from Maternity, or the Bearing and Nursing of Children: Including Female Education and BeautyRent Offspring. This work crowns the climax, by teaching mothers how to carry children, that is, how to manage them selves while fulfilling the highest and only specific relations of the female as such, namely, the maternal. His Physiol ogy, self-culture, Memory, Religion, etc., then complete this range of subjects, by showing how to conduct the physical, intellectual, and moral education and govern ment of the young in accordance with the physical, mental, and moral laws of our being.* When mankind understand and obey the laws of love, matrimony, generation, maternity, and education, will the millennium Open upon our benighted world in very deed, and our race be regenerated and infinite ly exalted, but not till then. Right education can do much, yet infinitely more when its subjects are endowed by nature with strong physical, high moral, and powerful intellectual capabilities, than when they are weakly, vicious, and addle brained by constitution. These reproductive and education al laws, understood and applied, will almost banish sin and suffering from our earth, restore to all mankind the garden of Eden in ten-fold luxuriance, and render our world a literal paradise Of holiness and happiness. Man, so far from being a base-born son of perdition, is created in the image and likeness of God himself, and all required to restore to him his primitive god-like capabilities and perfections, is right generation, bearing, and education. Prospective mothers, be conjured, by all the ecstacy of maternal joy with which splendid children will swell your exulting souls, and by all that untold shame and anguish with which their inferiority and depravity will rend your souls perpetually, to learn and fulfill these infinitely-momentous relations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
