Excerpt from Elements of the English Language: An Introduction to the Study of Grammar and Composition for Common Schools
But the text-book on Composition should not only be an aid to the acquisition of correct expression, but a means of cultivating habits of thought and observation. With this end in view, the exercises should be on simple and familiar objects, if possible visible at the time of study, the child's attention being thus more readily awakened, and its interest sustained. The contents of Part II. Of this work seem to me to happily meet our requirements in this respect. By a well prepared arrangement of lessons on common objects, and exercises in comparison, memory, the senses, the results of experiments, the sources of things, their parts, and their uses, the Author has done much to elaborate a useful system of elementary training.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. From the dawn of time to the dawn of man, this book tells the story of nature's hidden powers as learned by the ancient and modern worlds. It starts with the Babylonians, who paved the way for astrological practices, and continues through the contributions of the Greeks and Persians. The author details the influence of numerology and the evolution of alchemy. He shows how Chinese philosophy blended with Western thought to make way for scientific exploration, and how the Renaissance brought forth the concept of the earth's rotation around the sun. By the 17th century, the foundation was laid for the era of science, and alongside it, the practice of mesmerism and spiritualism. This book is a must-read for those who want to understand the hidden forces of the natural world and their profound impact on human history.
