This book presents an accessible and informative guide to the key branches of literature and science, with a particular focus on their application to the education of young men. The author, an established scholar, takes into account the changes in the student's roles within society, as Christians, students, and members of British society. Each of these perspectives is considered with thoughtful insight. The book's focus on the development of faculties of mind and acquisition of valuable knowledge remains as relevant to today's readers as it was to those of the author's time. The author was of the opinion that "comprehensive views of learning and science are calculated to produce the best effects upon the mind," and thus, this book may be of interest to those who are keen on developing the mental capacities of young scholars.
