Praise and Principle: Or For What Shall I Live! is a book written by Maria Jane McIntosh and first published in 1854. The book is a work of fiction that explores the themes of morality, faith, and the importance of living a purposeful life. The story follows the life of a young woman named Edith Hastings, who is faced with the challenge of choosing between a life of wealth and luxury or a life of service and principle. Edith is the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and she is accustomed to a life of comfort and privilege. However, she is also a deeply spiritual person and feels a strong sense of duty to help those in need. When she meets a group of impoverished children who are in desperate need of help, Edith is faced with a difficult decision. Should she continue to live a life of luxury and ignore the suffering of others, or should she dedicate herself to a life of service and sacrifice? Through Edith’s journey, the book explores the themes of morality, faith, and the importance of living a purposeful life. McIntosh’s writing is characterized by its moral and religious undertones, and the book is often cited as an example of Victorian literature. Praise and Principle: Or For What Shall I Live! is a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
