Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Teaching: Or the Motives and Methods of Good School Keeping
Many a meritorious book has failed to find readers by reason of a toilsome preface. If the following volume meets a similar fate, whatever its merits, it shall lack a like excuse.
This work has had its origin in a desire to contribute something toward elevating an important 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 pro mote the improvement of the teacher. In writing the matter out for the press, the same style, to considerable extent, has been retained, as I have written with an aim at usefulness rather than rhetorical efiect.
