Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 14 It remains for the present volume to conclude the series of De Quincey´s Miscellanea and to add whatever else may be necessary for the completion of the edition. The paper entitled Education of Boys in Large Numbers dates from as far back as 1824, when it appeared in the "London Magazine." One hardly knows why, among De Quincey´s numerous contributions to that once famous periodical, this particular paper should have been so long overlooked. He seems to have attached some value to it himself; it attracted some notice at the time; and it is of some intrinsic interest still, both as a history of a notable experiment in the art of school-management seventy years ago by a family of great subsequent celebrity on other grounds, and also as an exposition of not a few ideas of De Quincey´s own on the subject of Education. The most pungent portion of it in this latter respect is the censure which it contains of the traditional methods of teaching Latin and Greek. By chronological accident it chances that the three papers which follow are all translations from Kant. The first of these, entitled Kant on National Character in Relation to the Sense of the Sublime and Beautiful, is another of De Quincey´s old contributions to the "London Magazine," and, though not reprinted by himself in his Collective Edition of his writings, was added in 1871 in one of the supplementary volumes to the reissue of that edition.
