Présentation de l'éditeur
The tendency of the public mind, arismg from the comparatively free spirit o Tour institutions in this country, towards the study and improvement of human nature, constitutes a feature of the present day, interesting in the highest degree to the christian philosopher and philanthropist. The study of man is, of all others, a study of the first and highest importance. Character, natural and acquired, modified by temperament, by education, by society, government, and religion, is a subject worthy of a Uattention and analysis. All that affects its formation and its reformation ;all that mysterious process by which the human mind accomplishes its great purposes the perfecting of its nature, and the elevation of its hopes, should be regarded with a deep and scrutinizing attention, by all those entrusted with its high capacities and bfty destinies. To the teacher, the guardian, and the friend of man, all subjects involving in any degree his welfare, his improvement, and his happiness present their claims for unbiassed inquiry and deep-felt interest.
