Charming and Exceedingly Rare Little Book. No copy in the JNUL Ethical instruction for both children and parents. The author makes the interesting observation on p.6a that one should learn an example concerning the seriousness of prayer from the Ishmaelites (Moslems) who do not even look at their friends during services - let alone talk to them!
