"Advice to Young Men and Boys" by B. B. Comegys is a collection of motivational addresses written in the late 19th century. The work aims to impart moral guidance and practical advice to young men and boys, particularly those at Girard College, where Comegys delivered these speeches. The book covers various themes, including health, personal conduct, the importance of education, and the role of religion in shaping character and success. At the start of the book, Comegys introduces himself and outlines the purpose of his addresses, which is to provide young boys with the wisdom and knowledge he has gathered throughout his life. He emphasizes the importance of personal health, responsible habits, and the value of hard work for achieving success. Comegys discusses the need for young men to be mindful of the company they keep, encouraging them to avoid negative influences while cultivating a life of integrity and purpose. The opening sets the stage for the detailed discussions that follow, offering a blend of practical advice and moral instruction aimed at helping young individuals navigate the challenges of growing up and making meaningful contributions to society.
