Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Herbert Spencer
Herbert Spencer never wrote a thing more true than this The man to whom in boyhood information came in dreary tasks, along with threats of punishment, is unlikely to be a student in after years; while those to whom it came in natural forms, at the proper times, who remember its facts as not only interesting in themselves, but as a long series of gratifying successes, are likely to continue through life that self-instruction begun in youth.'
