A Method Of Teaching Linear Drawing: Adapted To The Public Schools. This instructional treatise advocates introducing linear drawing into public education as a means to cultivate moral and intellectual development, observation, and practical skills for life. It presents a structured teaching method: an introductory rationale in the Introduction; a program of sequential lessons (First through Seventh) covering basic lines (horizontal, perpendicular, oblique, curved), proportion, perspective, and the translation of description into architectural plans, ground plans, and architectural details. The work provides step-by-step classroom procedures, patterns, and guidance for teachers, including the use of blackboard and slate, and sample dialogues; it includes demonstrations of drawing elements such as doors, windows, arches, and various curves, with extensive discussion of teaching geometry, natural history, geography, and arithmetic through drawing. It emphasizes beauty and proportion as a civilizational good and argues that drawing can be taught with modest expense, potentially by female instructors in Boston public schools. The original publication year is 1841.
