The object of this work is to awaken public attention to the importance of making some modification in the method of educating children, which now prevails in this country. It is intended to show the necessity of giving more attention to the health and growth of the body, and less to the cultivation of the mind, especially in early life, than is now given; to teach that man, at every period of his existence, should be considered both as a spiritual and material being-as influenced both by physical and moral causes, and that therefore all plans for his improvement should be formed, not from a partial view of his nature; but from a knowledge of his moral, intellectual, and physical powers, and of their development. I have endeavoured, also, in this work, to point out what I conceive to be the most frequent cause of the ill health of literary men in this country; and to show that only by carefully developing and judiciously exercising the organs of the body, and especially the brain, can mental labour be long performed with energy, without in jury to the health. I hope also that my remarks may serve to awaken some attention to the study of human Anatomy and Physiology; on which all plans of education ought to be founded. This work is given to the public with the hope that it will be read with candour, and that the facts adduced, though presented in a very imperfect manner, will have their proper weight.
