Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Geography and History of Vermont: Also the Constitution of the United States With Notes and Questions A Book entitled "The Child´s Assistant to a Knowledge Of the Geography and History of Vermont," was written and published in 1827. Several editions were issued, and a large number of children and youth studied that book. The editor of the "Journal of Education," the most able magazine then devoted to improvement in Education, said of the work: "This is one of the most judicious and practical books for primary schools that we have yet seen. We value it, not so much for its entire correspondence with the views so often expressed in our pages, as for the uncommon quantity of interesting and useful matter it contains; and for its happy adaptation to the minds of children. The geographical details are well selected; and the chapter on natural history will furnish much food for thought, and will aid in the formation of good mental habits. The civil history is sufficiently copious for the purposes of such a volume; and the account of the hardships of the early settlers is highly instructive and entertaining. Books, such as this, contain the true elements of enlightened patriotism, and possess a much higher value than is apparent at first sight." Rev. Zadock Thompson, the author of an elaborate History of Vermont, in a letter to the publishers, said: "I am very much pleased With the ´Child´s Assistant to a Knowledge of the Geography and History of Vermont,´ by Rev. S. R. Hall, which you lately put into my hands. It is a work which I think might be profitably introduced into all the primary schools in this state.
