Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Complete System of Education: A Lecture Delivered Before the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, January 19, 1853 Ladies and Gentlemen, In the lectures of the course which is now drawing to a close you have had valuable illustrations of the effects which may follow from the combination of education with original ability. The lectures themselves have furnished the evidence of the beneficial results of that great agency which I have selected as my subject; and I should not have dared to have joined the series of eminent persons who have preceded me, had I not believed that there are some important truths connected with the topic of education not generally recognized, but which it requires neither genius to discover, nor eloquence to develop; truths the effect of which depends upon their intrinsic importance, and not on the rhetoric by which they may be embellished. It may be said, too, that he who stands on the outside of a temple can see its proportions and its beauty, which he who has already entered its penetralia can only remember. We have had illustrations of ancient literature, modern poetry, art, science, and their connexions and contrasts, and the dependence of all upon the intellect which is the common property and agent of art, science and poetry. But the practical subject of the means by which the intellect, the mother of all the three, may be cultivated, and enriched, has been, as yet, scarcely touched; and it will be my object to show by what agency this may be best effected, and to point out the duty of society in relation to that cultivation, as well as some of the advantages which may be derived from it. A feeling very nearly akin to indignant surprise might very naturally be expected to arise in a Massachusetts audience, and more especially in a Boston audience, who should be addressed upon the deficiencies of our system of public education.
