Instructions to His Son

Instructions to his Son

By Sir Walter Raleigh

Narrated by Denis Daly

During his long internment in the Tower of London Elizabethan adventurer and statesman Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 - 1618) took time to compose this thoughtful homily to his son. It consists of ten short chapters dealing with a variety of important issues such as the choice of friends and a wife, the maintenance of a good reputation, the management of one's estate and wealth and concludes with an exhortation to seek the wisdom and protection of God throughout life.
