Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Teaching: Or the Motives and Methods of Good School Keeping
If the following volume meets a similar fate, what ever its merits, it shall lack a like excuse.
This work has had its origin in a desire to contribute something toward elevating an impor tant and rising profession. Its matter comprises the substance of a part of the course of lectures addressed to the classes of the Institution under my charge, during the past two years. Those lectures, unwritten at first, were delivered in a familiar, colloquial style, - their main Object being the inculcation of such practical views as would best promote the improvement of the teacher. In writing the matter out for the press, the same style, to a considerable extent, has been retained, as I have written with an aim at usefulness rather than rhetorical effect.
