About this book
Advice to Young Men is by William Cobbett. The book is a series of letters addressed to a youth, a bachelor, a lover, a husband, a father, a citizen, or a subject, and incidentally to young women in the middle and higher ranks of life. The introduction says it is the duty, and ought to be the pleasure, of age and experience to warn and instruct youth and to come to the aid of inexperience.
The text advises dress as cheap as may be without shabbiness, and says women, however personally vain they may be themselves, despise personal vanity in men. The text tells a man to resolve, from the very first, never to spend an hour from home, unless business, or at least some necessary and rational purpose demand it. One example, from a collection of God's judgments on wicked acts, tells of an unnatural son who fed his aged father upon orts and offal.
