Excerpt from Plans for the Government and Liberal Instruction of Boys: In Large Numbers; Drawn From Experience
The little work which we now send into the reader"s hands cannot boast of much regularity, either in its design or execution. In fact it is published with a very different intention to that in which the greater part of it was written; for our original object was merely to defend our system against the prejudices which naturally, and we had almost said properly, attend innovation.
We found it too great a tax upon our time to answer objections viva voce, and thought that by arranging our arguments on paper, we should obtain our purpose more easily and completely to all parties. Fortunately for us, this reason for writing very soon ceased to exist. We then extended our range, proceeded to detail our plans more fully, and to enter more at large into the rationale of our system, which itself, as might naturally be expected, was more boldly developed in practice.
