Some ob32rrntions then, on the nature and opecati.ons of t1 c hu'inan min<l, seem to be an indispensable· preliminary in a work composed fo r the purpose of teaching_ children to think:, and to 1·cacl
their own language unders_tandingly.-Our remarks sh all: be as
concise,:and as explicit as we are able to·make them.
Education in general rnay !>e <lefined to be the clevelopement :m<l.

being, whether bodily or·mei1tnl. ., ·

the p hysiological functions,' the moral feelings, and tile intc lectual
powers

and useful. Our business arpresent, however, will be chie fly t o
attend to the nature of the i'n tellec}ual f;icultics, and the best moJe
of bringing· them inlo action for the benefit of the possessor.
' Vhen we examine t!\e nature of our ·thoughts, \Ve fin(l that they

tasted, sm.ellcd, or f elt, and:rn.e:itar combinations and j udgment.v c<mcerning tltosc lhings Of the truth of this position every one must

of his own mind.

An i<lea, then, is nothing.m<_?re. than a mental pcrcepti()n o. an ab •

of our sensations
.If our ideas are der ived from our sensations, the primary business of Intellectual 'Education should be the cultivation .and

This would lay a solid foundation for subsequent acquirements.

:ts to trace out all its · attr ibutes an<l relations, is a matter of the
greatest moment in a good system of education.
,
.The cultivation of our senses by a. course of sn.ifablc exercises
, i • vigoratcs our power of attention. The senses t hat should be
particularly exercised are those of sigli.t and touch The reason
why these. t\~~· scm;e~ sh ould receive the greate~t cultivation, is th at
t h e sensat1on31 ac,qu1re<l by thc-m, fo.T.1 the pivot upon wh ic h ail
the other sensatrons r evolve. It is through touch that we receive
our itleas of space, an<l localion; and these ideas of sp ace and location,.
:IS tl1er .exist in the per?ept i1·e facu lty> constitute the subst1·ntum
on which all our sens ations rest. They act the p art of tl:e frame
n.nd the catWll.!JS whereon our im:lginat ion paints all her pictures and
l1e't' scenes. And it is in this way that space and location bc'c ornc
t he gTCat foun<lat ion for memory; for, without the aid ofthnse ekrnen :p;y ideas, it woul<l be the next t hing to impossible to imp,1-ove, ot· even to. retain om faculty ofremi11isccnce.
But al hou1;h our ideas of space and location ::tre tYr~r;inated hy
the sense of touch, t hey are very soon transfcrred by ass,>ciation to.
tl1e sense of seeing, in evc1·y hum an being, who has the use of hi s
e yc_s. The infinite variety nnd pleasing appearance· of colours.
...}nay have a great infh:ence in giving sight snch a predominant su~
:pel'iority over the sense f to.uch. Whatever may be the cause, it is,
however, an unt1o1lbted fact, that sig-ht is t he ov·crwhe)mmg sense,.
and.that it JJears oft~ <m vigorous wings, all the other sensations of
taste, smell, hearing, ancl even touch itself.
..
l":rom what hltS- bee n said we may vent ure the position, that u:ethin;c in piltu.re:i a.11tl scenes. T hat this is trnc, is evident from the

INTRODUCTION.

al objec_t,_ for _tbe ·p~rposc of ser>arating it·_into its different p:irM,
and noticmg 1ts various prope1·t1es·and actions. Correct and minutc,1u1• lysis becomes the source of accurate generalization; and
generalization is the ol·igin of all the sciences. These two operations
n1ay be compared to t be reciprocal actions of the lever of a..._halance.
They c<ir!sti\nte, · in the hands of a skilful teacher, a most-impor. tn.nt en!?inc for exercising t11e pupil's min<l, and increasing hjs
st()r~ ot knaw1edge. The analysis of objects in to tbci1: parts and
;:i.tt~·1hutes cuiti'1,· atc~ the tacully of attention,- and renders ~he
memory tenac ll)us. Generalization has a similar . effect on ouipowers of recollection, by connecting to one point or pr.inciple, a
yast nn·rety ~fuseful facts ,c:xisting in different subjects.
•
I n conductmg a series of analy ses and classificat ions with a scholar! we· shall derive _much a h ·antage from q':lestions. lnterrgg1. tor1es fix the attention and by \hat means strengthen it. It is in
tlus W!lY th at the interrogatory ~_,· stem of_teaching, btely introduced into Eng;l:md, Holland and th is country, has producecl such
valuable results. This is properly the method of the ancients re-·
· · Yive<l. Their most efficient instructors tau gh t on this plan; nnd
1.he categories of Aristotle can be consick1·ed useful in ·no other
light, than as they arc the mc:.ins of investigating a subject by a
course of intcrro17:ltories ; and in this way arresling attention and
securing knowlcct.gc.
A~ langu~g·e is the medium through which ··knowledge is commumcatcd, it 111ay be p1·opcr to ex-amine the o1fice of wordi; with
reference to the theory we h:we g iven of the thinking process.
'Vorcls stand either fo r whole objects or for parts; for whole
scenes or for some portion or nction in a scene Tlius the word
bod!f r·epre&ent.s a whole consisting· of r:n:my parts, as the liead, trunk,
extremities; and the term /;cad .inc1uil«:s· in it the i<lcns represented
by face, fareliead, eyes, ears, nose, mo·u.tli, &c._ But since language
would be imperfect if we l1atl only words st:u.1ding for the names of
obj ects, it was found necessary to be more minute; ancl hence
we have terms expr~sing every species of action and quality.
\Vords then bei ng .used not only as signs for whole objects, nn.d
''"'t hei r p:.i.rts, but likewise for tlieir qnalit.ies, actions and uses, they
become, as Condillac ol-iserves, our most useful instruments of
analysis. They :\l'C, from qi e same ·circumst:mce, equally · he in ~
stn1ments ·of generalization. The minute approprjation
term s
. concenu·ates attention by limiting the range of mental vision, and
thus insur es ac curacy of observation .
When we look at w0t·<ls in th :s light :is the means by wliich we
~ommunica.tc our thoughts to one another, we m:iy compare them
to the painter's pencil. Each word traces out in the imagination
of' t.1le heare1·, eith er the whole of an object, or some paJ·t, or quali ty, or ac ion. All the elementary images, al)d scenic actions exist
in a latent state, in the mmtl of the hearer; and the .spea:t-er, by a
successive nnaly is of his pictures, an<l scenes by wo1·ds, ra.ises the
Same' in the mind oft.he hea.rer.

or

!NTIU>DUCTION, ·
If the hearer or r~acl~ c~ rea~ily :ealize or embody tile scenery
presented by words, be is s:ud to understand the speaker or aut..11or11
~wd so vice versa. ·
-· ·-·
If these _observations ~ trUe, it \vi.11 lead us to see the evil con.
:sequences .of learnil!g to look at our printed u:o,.ds or tisible ian•
guage r.ui:tlwut tltinlcing. This -is unfo.rtt_mately the Cl"tnmon pra.otice of· learajng words; and our spelling books look no fo.rther
than to g'i'~·e tl)e ch ild ~e mere congeries of letters, that stand for
our or~~ words. It is tlJis that produces the prevailing habit ot
reading without understanding. In reference to which habit, it
woulc! be scarcely too much to say that spelling books, as they
are usilil.lly constructed and used, have, for more than a century
past, been the greatest barri~;· to intellectual improvement •
The definitions in spelling books and dictionaries by no men.ns.
answe~ ,tlre intention of their authors : because t hey cbmrst too
mu~h m general te1frns 1 and we have proven, we believe, that our
1110ughts, in-oi·der to be realized and remembered, must be conrrected wi~h partieu.lar~, whether yiese be objects or scenes. They
~au t~erefore_ communicate very little knowledge to the pupil, un·
less his t eache accompanies his definition · lessons bv a course of
p ractical phrases on every word, or induces the pupii to do it as
far as he can. This~ we have found the only plan of e ablinr; a
child to comprehe~d the true meaning of words.
For the purpose of acquiring language with correctness and fa.
cility, we may adopt three very useful practical divisions, viz.
,Ideology, Etymology, and PJu·aseology. .
The term Ideology we wish to use with rel:i.tion to the connec•
tion ofi<leas with words. As all our ideas ~f quality, action and
relation re~ide in o! a.re intimately associated with objects :incl
scenes;- so it must follow that the wo.<ls expressing ob•ects rnn!<t
be the principal words in all languages. These word~ we shall
take the liber ty c;f calling ideolog~cotl rndicals or roots, and they
should be the st1hJCCts of the analytical lessons we have spoken ot:
The terms that repr~sent qualities; actions, and •·elations will, of
co.ursc, become the subjects of gene~--alization.
Efymology is' that d ivision \vhich shows. 11s tJ1e origin of worlls
from ~ne_ another, so. as to -~or:_n_ large famili es retaining the orthog1·aph1cal features of the pr1m1tl\"e word, as well as the i<le:i. I l is
properly only a branch ofideolqgy, but so valuable as to mer it se.
parate attention
. ~-,,..
By Phraseology we mean :in"~an:i1ytica1 exhibition In words, of
some ~cen~. _Here, it ma~ be stated tl:at 'Yet .in ··i n whole phrases
