Wyss, Johann-Swiss Family Robinson

Posted on May 1, 2023 by WL

PREFACE.

Many years ago, an English translation of the first part of this charming tale appeared; and few books have obtained such deserved popularity. The gradual progress of the family from utter destitution and misery, to happiness and abundance, arising from their own labour, perseverance, and obedience, together with the effect produced on the different characters of the sons by the stirring adventures they met with, created a deep and absorbing interest. Every young reader patronized either the noble Fritz, the studious Ernest, or the generous Jack, and regarded him as a familiar personal acquaintance. The book had but one defect—the death of the talented author left it unfinished, and every reader regretted its abrupt termination.

This conclusion was happily supplied by one of the most accomplished and elegant writers of her day, the Baroness de Montolieu; and, sanctioned and approved by the son of the lamented author, the entire work was published in France, and has for many years held a distinguished rank in the [pg iv]juvenile libraries there. For the gratification of a little family circle, this now appears in English; and as, on examining the first part in the original, it was found, that “some new discoveries might be made,” it was thought best to re-translate it, subduing the tone of the whole to English taste. The unanimous voices of the beloved circle, for whom the pleasant task was undertaken, have pronounced the result to be eminently successful, and they generously wish, that the whole of the juvenile public of England should share in their satisfaction, and possess a complete Swiss Robinson.

I. As to the Crook itself.

II. The Crook is of God’s making. How it is of his making. Why he makes it.

PROPOSITION II: What God sees meet to mar, we shall not be able to mend in our Lot. What Crook God makes in our Lot, we shall not be able to even.

I. God’s marring and making a Crook in one’s Lot, as he sees meet.

II. Men’s attempting to mend or even the Crook in their Lot.

II. How it is to be understood to be a proper means to bring one to behave rightly under the Crook.

III. That it is a proper means to bring one to behave rightly under it.

A comparison between the Lowly and Proud.

DocT. — There is a generation of lowly, afflicted ones, having their spirit lowered and brought down to their lot ; whose case, in that respect, is better than that of the proud getting their will, and carrying all to their mind.

I. The generation of the lowly afflicted ones.

II. The generation of the proud getting their will and carrying all to their mind.

III. It is better to be in a low afflicted condition, with the spirit humble and brought down to the lot, than to be of a proud and high spirit, getting the lot brought up to it, and matters go according to one’s mind. Humility the great means to bring all to their respective duties.

Doctrine. I. The bent of one’s heart, in humbling circumstances, should be towards a suitable humbling of the spirit, as under God’s mighty hand placing us in them.

II. What are those humbling circumstances the mighty hand of God brings men into.

III. What it is in humbling circumstances, to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.

Directions for reaching humiliation.

Doctrine. II. In due time, those that humble themselves under the mighty hand of God will certainly be lifted up.
