William Bacon

William Bacon's (1803-1879) Parental Influences was published originally by Miller, Orton & Mulligan in 1856. Bacon, as clergyman, believed many parents needed a work that would assist them with instilling Christian morals and virtues into their children. The author considered this a more comprehensive view on the subject than had been previously been given to the public. He felt that those who had read some of the other books might profit from the conciseness of his own work. It might give them new knowledge on the subject, and it might bring to mind, and more fully enforce, what they have learned already. The original edition elicited many warm recommendations from colleagues, such as from the Theological Seminaries of New Albany and Auburn. The work received comments as: "judiciously and ably handled", "eminently practical", "full of sound and important ideas", "valuable and timely and plainspoken instruction".
