Excerpt from Let Him First Be a Man and Other Essays: Chiefly Relating to Education and Culture The opening chapters are intended to depict the potential man, the ideal being which it is the highest purpose of education to perfect. On the teacher's conception of the worth and dignity of human nature, and equally on the learner's self-respect, and reverence for the divine workmanship which makes his body the "quintessence of dust," and his soul "the infinite in faculties," - on these depend the processes of that nurture and training which fit men to live the best and most useful life. After discussing, in brief, the nature and educability of man, and the motive of all education, the writer ventures to make a few suggestions concerning the special function of schools in the vast work of general education, and touches slightly upon methods of government and instruction, under the inclusive heading "Schoolmastery." Then follow brief essays on the essential elements of mental and moral development, and on the importance of reading as a means to superior culture. About a third part of the volume is taken up with studies in the history of education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
