Excerpt from Physical Education: Or, the Nurture and Management of Children, Founded on the Study of Their Nature and Constitution
The Author of the following Essay considers little apology necessary for offering it to public notice. It treats of a branch of Education unquestionably of great importance to the well-being of our species, though one hitherto unaccountably neglected. J Notwithstanding the admirable Treatises of Drs h Combe, Southwood Smith, and other individuals eminent in their profession in this country, and of Drs Brigham and Caldwell in America, the Author conceives that a Treatise, more especially confined to the Nurture and Management of Children, is yet, in some measure, a desideratum in Popular Educational Literature. It is in the hope that he may in so far contribute to supply this supposed want, that the following pages are now produced; and to his readers, without farther preface, he begs most respectfully to submit them.
