{"product_id":"2940014860659","title":"Lectures to Young Men on Various Important Subjects","description":"Having watched the courses of those who seduce the young — their arts, their blandishments, their pretenses; having witnessed the beginning and consummation of ruin, almost in the same year, of many young men, naturally well disposed, whose downfall began with the appearances of innocence; I felt an earnest desire, if I could, to warn the young, and to direct their reason to the arts by which they are, with such facility, destroyed!\u003cbr\u003eI ask every young man who may read this book, not to submit his judgment to mine, not to hate because I denounce, nor blindly to follow me; but to weigh my reasons, that he may form his own judgment. I only claim the place of a friend; and that I may gain his ear, I have sought to present truth in those forms which best please the young. And though I am not without hope of satisfying the aged and the wise — my whole thought has been to carry with me the intelligent sympathy of young men.","brand":"HW Beecher Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156018643184,"sku":"2940014860659","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014860659_p0.jpg?v=1763616303","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014860659","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
