Description:

THE ROYAL PATH OF LIFE is a Victorian guide to living a happy, prosperous, polite and moral existence. It takes the reader by the hand and guides him along the path of righteousness, pointing out potential pitfalls along the way and furnishing time-honored advice to stay on the straight and narrow course.

This handsome Victorian volume consists of a series of compelling essays on a range of vital topics to illustrate virtues and vices, personal responsibilities and duties, managing one’s emotions, facing challenges and adversities, appreciating one’s blessings, social institutions and etiquette, personal appearance, marriage, home life, spiritual harmony, God, the Bible, etc.

THE ROYAL PATH is a book written in an era when personal achievement, social etiquette and moral rectitude were highly esteemed in America – a time when success was measured not by how many “likes” or “followers” you have on social media, but by the degree of respect and esteem you commanded in your local community and among your peers. The truths contained in this book are as valid today as the day it was first published, the only difference being that modern society has turned a deaf ear.

The Preface proclaims:

In life there is a Royal Path. Alas, that so many not being urged to seek life’s prizes, fail to find them. It is hoped that this book shall be a counselor to those who have become indifferent to life’s purposes; a comfort to those who have long traveled on this Royal Path; and if it shall serve to awaken the slumbering genius within the youth, stimulate and impel them to noble thoughts and actions, and lead them on to honor, success and happiness, the authors will consider themselves amply repaid for their labor.

At the back of the book are dozens of testimonials from community leaders such as ministers and priests from across the country attesting to the value and significance of THE ROYAL PATH OF LIFE (see photos below).

To give you a firmer idea of the breadth and scope of this beautiful and instructive Victorian book, I have furnished some helpful details below, starting with a summary of the various fascinating topics to which the book’s many essays are devoted. Further down the page, you can see some of the handsome engravings which adorn THE ROYAL PATH.

I hope you’ll take a few moments to have a look.
