The Whole Duty of Man
Anonymous
Read elsewhere
What it is
A course of practical instruction on duty to God, self, and neighbour, divided into seventeen sections to be read through three times a year.
Why it lasted
The most widely owned English devotional book of the next century and a half, and the target of every later complaint that Anglicanism had become mere morality.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
