Excerpt from Education for the Millions: Physical, Intellectual, and Moral The very grave importance of the subject of Education is the apology for the present treatise. To awaken more interest for the young, on whom, peculiarly, rests the destiny of the future, and to suggest a rational course in their physical, intellectual, and moral training, is deemed an object of no ordinary importance. The present age is one of unprecedentedly rapid improvements. Knowledge has produced these improvements, and to continue them, it must be increased. Strong arms, sound heads, and warm hearts, are needed for the work. How to obtain them is the question; a right education is the answer. We see in our cities a large class of the sons and daughters of the wealthy trained up in a manner which unfits them, in a great measure, for the duties of life. Nothing great or noble can ever be expected from mere exquisites. Health, usefulness, and happiness, are all jeoparded by such a course.

Not illustrated. 1820 edition. Excerpt: ... Insanity, melancholy, epilepsy, palsy, and a whole train of evils, are the attendants upon an undue, excessive, and long-continued excitement of the nervous sensibility; and it should be one leading object of education, among females in particular, so to direct their employments, their amusements, their diet and temperature, their waking and their sleeping hours, that their constitution may be hardened, their bodies and minds invigorated, and the best chance given them for meeting the unavoidable evils of life, so that these may promote their moral improvement, without inflicting upon them unnecessary sufferings, or destroying their power of usefulness. With this view, it may be laid down as a maxim in education, that whatever strongly excites the sensibility, without connecting it with active exertion, whatever, in short, increases the disposition to passive pleasure, is, and must be, injurious, --injurious to the health of the mind, and alike injurious to the health of the body. To make such sickly sensibility the subject of approbation is folly in the extreme. How the sensibility, in its natural state, should be turned into the channel of benevolence, we have endeavoured to show in Moral Education and the reader will find some judicious observations on the same topic in Mrs. More's Strictures. With respect to girls, what in general is most wanting is, to check their sensibility, or at least to give it its proper direction. With respect to boys, it may sometimes be necessary to excite their mental sensibility; but in general, where proper pains have been taken early in life, the benevolent affections will have sufficient vividness and vigour: and at any rate they should never be enlivened by stimulating the sensibility of the nervous..
