Excerpt from The Teacher Taught: Or the Principles and Modes of Teaching
If the appearance of a new book were an uncommon event, there would be a propriety in giving to the public the history of its origin and progress. It would gratify curiosity, and might prove a stimulus to others to become authors. But at present there is no need of such a stimulant; and no one is curious to know what induced you to send forth a small volume, to be justled aside, and perhaps buried beneath a mouldering pile of ephemeral literature.
In 1833, I published a small volume for the benefit of the Teachers of Common Schools in this vicinity, called "The Teacher"s Manual;" I aimed at nothing more than making teachers acquainted with the different and most approved methods of instructing children in the rudiments of knowledge. I have since found that teachers need to be taught principles as well as modes; I have therefore merged that book in this; and since the plan of this differs from that, and only a small portion of it is introduced into this, I have given it a new name.
I have endeavored to enter the school-house with the teacher at the commencement of his school, to tell him how to arrange his school, how to manage the internal affairs of his little family, and how to instruct each class.
