Synopsis

Ourselves is Volume 4 of the Home Education Series by Charlotte Mason. It is written both for the youth and parents/educators to more fully understand our human nature and reflect on our individuality. Though originally designed to be published as two separate books, it has been combined into one volume for ease of accessibility. This edition has been edited to include the American English use of words, original page numbers noted within the text, translation of foreign phrases, and formatting that more easily conveys the original author's message. From Miss Mason's preface of this volume: "Boys and girls, youths and maidens, have as much capacity to apprehend what is presented to their minds as have their elders; and, like their elders, they take great pleasure and interest in an appeal to their understanding which discovers to them the ground-plan of human nature––a common possession. The point of view taken in this volume is, that all beautiful and noble possibilities are present in everyone; but that each person is subject to assault and hindrance in various ways, of which he should be aware in order that he may watch and pray."

About the Author

Charlotte Mason, a renowned British educator, lived during the turn of the 20th century. She turned the idea of education being something of utilitarian necessity into an approach based upon living ideas. She believed that education is "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life" and a "science of relations." Her methods are embraced around the world today, especially among the homeschool community.
