Excerpt from The Utility of the Knowledge of Nature Considered: With Reference to the Introduction of Instruction in the Physical Sciences; Into the General Education of Youth; Comprising, With Many Additions, the Details of a Public Lecture on That Subject, Delivered at Hazelwood School, Near Birmingham, October 26
Messrs. Hill, the Conductors and Proprietors of Hazelwood School, near Birmingham, and of the branch establishment at Bruce Castle, Tottenham, near London, being desirous of adding the study of the Physical Sciences to the various departments of liberal education, as conducted in those establishments, I was engaged by them, in the autumn of 1829, to give instruction in those sciences, and, in general, to superintend the business of the new department, thus introduced into the Schools. After some degree of experience had been acquired of the arrangements necessary for adapting the truths of science to the apprehension of youth, and to the business of the Schools, and ascertaining, to a certain extent, the influence of those truths on the minds of the pupils, it was determined, by the Conductors and myself, that publicity should be given, to our views respecting the introduction of instruction in the Physical Sciences, into the General Education of Youth, in a Public Lecture, to be delivered by me at Hazelwood, and to be subsequently printed, for distribution among the friends of the pupils at both Schools, and published, for the information of those who are interested in the progress of Education, and for that of the scientific world.
