Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Epitome of Some of the Chief Events and Transactions: In the Life of Joseph Lancaster Friends: This brief Epitome of the outlines of the remarkable events of my life, is now published, not as a perfect or full detail, but as adequate to its intended purpose, to promote the proposal of a subscription for a publication, containing further improvements in Education; - a publication which may contribute to the present support of my family, while the proceeds of this tract will aid in the education of my own beloved children; a duty which, as I am now advancing in life, I wish fully to perform while it is yet day. One motive for making this epitome no larger is, that I am obliged to seek aid for my family as early as possible, and cannot, therefore, delay the work for leisure and augmentation. Many are the facts omitted; but a number which were utterly unknown before, are now communicated to the public for the first time, in a regular though not finished series. Another reason for making this publication so brief, is the unwillingness common to any burnt child, to put his fingers needlessly in the fire a second time; - an unwillingness arising from having deeply suffered by many attempts to do good, or speculate beyond actual means, and a reluctance to sell a copy-right which may ultimately benefit my own children; as the manuscript contains matter enough to interest a world, and relates to many characters and transactions of the age, for above the fourth part of this century, all honorable, and all connected with the progress of education. Human life is often a specimen of mixture and imperfection; and for my errors, whatever they are, I make neither excuses, palliations, or defence. I say, earth to earth, dust to dust, over them, with all my heart. Of my usefulness, I cast down all my glory at the feet of Him who called me into being by his power, endowed me with talents, and redeemed me by his blood.
