Excerpt from An Essay on Education

It has long been my intention to publish an essay on educa tion, as my last work. In the meantime, men Of learning have been engaged, from the most disinterested motives, in the same field. They have done much good, for which they have received the thanks of every true friend of our common country. This essay will not, nor is it intended, to supersede the use of what others have heretofore published on the same subject. But, although all that has been published on education is valuable, yet the whole mass is too voluminous for common readers. A condensation of much that has appeared into a small space, seemed to the author to be a desideratum, and that is all that this small volume pretends to be. It has been my object to condense as much useful matter as possible into a small com pass, adapting it to the age In which we live, and to the repub lican institutions of our country.
