Summary "Character and Conduct" by Constance M. Whishaw is a collection of inspirational readings and thoughts gathered from various notable writers throughout history, and it likely dates from the early 20th century. The book seeks to provide reflections aimed at personal development and moral contemplation, encouraging readers to improve their character and conduct in daily life. The opening of the book includes a preface by the author, where she expresses gratitude to those who contributed to the compilation and explains its purpose. The initial entries for January promote themes of renewal, purpose, and character by incorporating quotes from various renowned figures, including Ephraim Peabody and Goethe. These reflections encourage readers to leave behind negative influences as they embrace the new year, aiming to cultivate a noble life through conscious effort and moral integrity. Overall, the beginning sets a reflective tone and establishes the book's intent to guide readers toward a more virtuous and purposeful existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
