Excerpt from Remarks on Elementary Education in Science: An Introductory Lecture, Delivered at the Opening of the Classes of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, in the University of London, November 2, 1830
Geometry, which is a science more pleasing to the majority of learners than algebra, and which' is, for the purposes of the many, the more useful of the two, might be taught at an earlier age than is the custom at present. I do not say that the most rigorous form of the science is that which should be first adopted, since there is much in it which could not be appreciated by the youngest students.
