Synopsis

Excerpt from The Preparation of the Child for Science

Thomas wedgwood. He was assisted in his scientific researches by Erasmus Darwin (grandfather of Charles Darwin), a then famous physician. His life-long dream was to promote happiness on earth, not by the multiplication ofmechanical iappllancesifor comfort and pleasure, but by the evolution of a Race gifted with powers of intellectual enjoyment, larger than those of man as he now exists. He made a Special study of the faculty which he called Genius and the conditions of its orderly devel opment. By Genius he evidently meant, chie?y, the power of seeing truth at first hand. The ms. Of his work was entrusted to a friend who is said to have lost it. The rough notes for the book in Wedgwood''s handwriting, with a fair copy of one or two of the chapters, were found in 1883. Among the papers was a scrap on which was written, in a Shaking hand, the sentence How exhilarating is the thought that if, by the labour of my whole life, I can add one idea to the stock of those concerning education, my life has been well spent.''

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
