Excerpt from General Observations on the Principles of Education: For the Use of Mechanics" Institutions
The following general observations on the Principles of Education (as you are aware), I had intended, but for circumstances that occurred to render it inconvenient, to have publicly delivered at Inverness last spring, in the form of Lectures; in the hope that some excitement to farther inquiry into a most important subject might be the result, as well as a desire to promote lectures on various branches of knowledge. Having been encouraged to believe that, if printed in a cheap form, these observations might prove useful in directing your minds to the contemplation of the true principles which must ever direct Education that is to be essentially effective, I now present them to you with my best wishes, though the subject be not exhausted, nor the observations arranged so well as might have been the case had this been other than a merely ephemeral production, in which light I request it may be regarded.
