Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Parent´s Assistant, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Stories for Children A voluntary descent from the dignity of science is perhaps the hardest lesson which humility can teach.´ It seems, however, a very easy task to write for children. Those only, who have been interested in the education of a family, who have patiently followed children through the first processes of reasoning, who have daily watched over their thoughts and feelings; those only, who know with what ease and rapidity the early associations of ideas are formed, on which the future taste, character and happiness depend, can feel the dangers and difficulties of such an undertaking. For a length of time education was classed amongst the subjects of vague and metaphysical speculation; but, of late, it has attained its proper station in experimental philosophy. - The sober sense of Locke, and the enthusiastic eloquence of Rosseau, have directed to this object the attention of philosophers and men of genius. Many theories lave been invented, several just observations have been made, and some few facts have been established. Dr. Reid remarks, that ´if we could obtain a distinct and full history of all that hath passed in the mind of a child, from the beginning of life and sensation, till it grows up to the use of reason; how its infant faculties began to work, and how they brought forth and ripened all the various notions, opinions and sentiments, which we find in ourselves when we come to be capable of reflection, this would be a treasure of natural history, which would probably give more light into the human faculties, than all the systems of philosophers about them, since the beginning of the world.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
