Principle and Practice or The Orphan Family: A Tale is a novel written by Harriet Martineau and published in 1827. The story revolves around the lives of a group of orphans who are taken in by a wealthy family. The main theme of the book is the conflict between the principles of Christianity and the realities of daily life. The orphans are raised with strict moral values and principles, but they soon find that the world outside their sheltered environment is not so idealistic. The novel explores the challenges faced by the orphans as they struggle to reconcile their beliefs with the harsh realities of life. The book is hailed as a classic of Victorian literature and is considered one of Martineau's most important works. It is a poignant and thought-provoking tale that explores the complexities of human nature and the struggle to maintain one's principles in a world that often seems to be at odds with them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
