Excerpt from On the Dangerous Tendency to Innovations and Extremes in Education: Delivered Before the American Institute of Instruction, August, 1834
The tendency of this spirit of innovation is, to unsettle important principles and set everything afloat upon the capricious tide of popular feeling. Let us briefly notice its bearings upon the subject of education, which for convenience we divide into physical, intellectual and moral.

The delay has been occasioned by his ill health and ab sence in Europe, and his desire to make the book as worthy of the public as possible. So grave and difficult a work could not be safely hurried. Great consideration was due to the many able writers upon this subject. NO pains have been spared to examine them in their own languages, at least upon all doubtful or critical points, and to give due weight to their various reasonings and opinions.

Excerpt from Christianity Applied to Our Civil and Social Relations
The following discourses are not a connected series, though all of them aim at the same principle. As they touch upon subjects of agitating interest, and have occassioned severe strictures, it is thought best to give them.to the public in their original form. The author has a high esteem for many who differ from him respecting the most Christian way of treating certain subjects tending to alienations in church and state, especially masonry and slavery But it is hoped that we all have in view the same good object; let us then speak out our views freely and in love. Now that the excitement of the moment is over, if, on reading and calmly pondering the sentiments of these discourses, any Christian brethren are justly grieved or offended, none will more regret it than the author, by whom, with fervent prayer for the divine blessing upon them, they are presented to the public.

Excerpt from Woman as She Should Be
The three first chapters of this volume were ori ginally prepared and preached by the author to his people, in a course of evening lectures, without any expectation of publishing them. The circumstances of the times led to the publication of the first one, in the Religious Magazine and separately. It has been some time out of print, and several individuals have signified a request that the other two might be pub lished in connection with another edition of it. They have been accordingly submitted to the publishers, to be issued in the present form and connection. The first chapter is designed to indicate the sphere in which Christianity instructs woman to move and act; the second, to show what Christianity has done for her, and to exhibit the reasons why more women than men become pious; the third, to illus trate what is implied in the true Christian education of woman. I have employed the Saxon term, wo man, considering it to be in truer taste, though less in use, than the somewhat vulgarized term lady.

Hubbard Winslow was an American Congregational clergyman, teacher and writer.
Background
Hubbard Winslow was born on October 30, 1799, in Williston, Vermont, the son of Nathaniel Winslow, Jr. and Joanna Kellogg, and a descendant of Kenelm Winslow, a native of Droitwich, Worcestershire, England, who came to the Plymouth Colony about 1629.
Education
Hubbard was brought up on his father's farm, became a school teacher when he was seventeen, and at the age of twenty went to Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachussets, to prepare for college. In 1821 he entered Middlebury College, but the next year transferred to Yale, where he was graduated in 1825.
Career
He began his theological studies in the Yale Divinity School, spent the year 1826 - 1827 at Andover Theological Seminary, and, returning to Yale, completed his course there in 1828. On December 4 of that year he was ordained pastor of the First Congregational Church of Dover, New Hampshire, in which capacity he served until 1832. Called to succeed Lyman Beecher as pastor of the Bowdoin Street Church, Boston, in 1832, he became one of the popular preachers of that city, his church being crowded on all occasions. A nervous person, he was never in the best of health and in 1840 visited Europe for recuperation.
Resigning his pastorate in 1844, he bought an estate on Beacon Hill and established the Mount Vernon School for Young Ladies, which he conducted until 1853. The next nine years of his life were taken up with travel, writing, and some teaching and pastoral work. He was in charge of the First Presbyterian Church, Geneva, New York, from 1857 to 1859, and of the Fiftieth Street Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn from 1859 to 1861, during which time he also taught in a school for young ladies in New York, conducted by his son-in-law.
He was also a frequent contributor to periodicals and while in Boston edited, 1837 - 1840, the Religious Magazine. He had a lucid style and the ability to make dry subjects interesting. Some of his publications had extensive circulation both in the United States and abroad. Two of his books, The Young Man's Aid to Knowledge, Virtue, and Happiness (1837) and Are You a Christian? (2nd edition, copr. 1839), were extraordinarily popular, many thousands of copies being printed. Two more substantial works which he prepared later, Elements of Intellectual Philosophy (1850) and Elements of Moral Philosophy (1858), also went through a number of editions. Among his other publications were Discourses on the Nature, Evidence, and Moral Value of the Doctrine of the Trinity (1834), Christianity Applied to Our Civil and Social Relations (1835), The Appropriate Sphere of Woman (1837), and The Christian Doctrine (1844).
Broken in health, Hubbard Winslow retired to Williston, Vermont, in 1861, where he died on August 13, 1864.
