Excerpt from The Pet Lamb, in Rhythm, Intended as an Innocent Exercise for the Memory of Children: To Which Are Added, the Ladder of Learning, and the Robin

The first rudiments of learning are sometimes so laborious and irksome to children as to disgust them exceedingly. When this dislike is once fixed in the mind, it is often a work of years to eradicate it; and learning becomes slow, heavy, uphill work, both to the teacher and learner.

In 1786, Thomas Lambert, a school-master in Leeds, compiled a new Reading made Easy, for his own child. The merit of this little book is, that the same word is so often repeated in the same line, and in the same lesson, that a child can hardly avoid remembering it; but his first lessons neither convey knowledge nor amusement.

All children seem delighted with the little book entitled "The House that Jack built," and, without being urged to the task, get it off with pleasure.
