    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1841 and 1842 copyrighted texts. The author is credited as "author of the prize essay on education, entitled 'The Teacher's Manual.'" A series of four books designed to connect pure feelings and correct moral ideas with intellectual instruction through narratives accompanied by questions for students. Many of the stories are given titles indicative of the moral theme explored, such as "Cruelty and Oppression" and "Envy, Hatred, and Malice." Pictorial illustrations also appear throughout. The Schultz Archive's copy includes selections from each of the four books, but none of the four is complete.

  • Familiar Tales for Children

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1841 printing of the 1841 copyrighted text. The preface explains that too much emphasis has been given to teaching children facts and not enough to teaching morality. The stories in this collection are meant to teach children morals in simple enough language for them to understand. The collection contains 28 different stories with titles such as Carelessness, Anger, Candor, and the Fruits of Infidelity. Other stories have titles such as Snakes, More about Birds, and The Holiday. The text contains a few illustrations, but they are dark and details are difficult to make out. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1841 copyrighted text. The author is credited as the author of Grammar Simplified. A grammar handbook designed with a new method to impart a knowledge of grammar in a much shorter time than previous texts, and it is explicitly for families and private learners. The text uses parsing lessons, a section of false grammar corrected (broken into many rules). The appendix contain notes to syntax. The Schultz Archive copy contains a few pages (presumably) from each of the various sections of the work. Some of the copies cut off the text in the margins.
