DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Address on the Scientific Life and Labors of William C. Redfield A. M., First President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science: Delivered Before the Association at Their Annual Meeting in Montreal, August 14, 1857 William C. Redfield was born at Middletown, Connecticut, on the 25th of March, 1789. He was of pure English descent both by the father's and mother's side. His father from a natural love of adventure, chose in early youth a sea-faring life, and afterwards followed the seas as a profession to the time of his death, which happened when this, his eldest son, was only thir teen years old. His early training, therefore, devolved chiefly on his mother, who was a woman of superior mental endow ments, and of exalted Christian character.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis first history of nontraditional education in America covers the span from Benjamin Franklin's Junto to community colleges. It aims to unravel the knotted connections between education and society by focusing on the voluntary pursuit of knowledge by those who were both older and more likely to be gainfully employed than the school-age population.
