These aren't so much childrearing manuals as advice from fathers to their
children -- but they might be nice for Father's Day! Try:
Chesterfield, Philip.
Lord Chesterfield's Advice to His Son, on Men and Manners.
4th ed.
London: Richardson and Urquhart, 1784
Gregory, John.
A Father's Legacy to His Daughters.
Dublin: John Colles, 1774
There's a Gutenberg edition of the Chesterfield but no online edition (as
far as I am aware) of the Gregory.
