Summary "Anecdotes for Boys" by Harvey Newcomb is a collection of instructive narratives aimed at educating young readers, likely written in the mid-19th century. The book offers anecdotes and moral lessons that illustrate principles of character and virtue, specifically designed to shape young boys into responsible and good men. The author emphasizes that early experiences and behaviors are indicative of one's future character, presenting various historical examples to illustrate his points. The opening of the book lays the foundation for its themes by discussing how a boy's character forms the basis for the man he will become. Through the stories of well-known figures like George Washington and Benedict Arnold, Newcomb highlights the importance of integrity, filial piety, and the consequences of moral choices. He stresses that positive traits such as obedience to parents and moral principles are vital for developing good character. Overall, the beginning sets a didactic tone, aiming to engage boys with entertaining yet thought-provoking content that reinforces essential life lessons.
