Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Lecture on the Use and Abuse of Emulation as a Motive to Study: Delivered Before the Essex County Association of Teachers, at Newburyport, April 9, 1852
You request me to write you the history and details of a new system of recitation introduced into my school, and the advantages which seem to me to have resulted from its introduction. I am happy to comply with your request and should my letter prove a long one, you must remember that you urged me to write with all the minuteness which my time would allow. You asked for good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over and you will not now, I trust, like many a vehement petitioner, start back in dismay at finding your prayer too literally granted.
