Sinossi
Excerpt from Lessons on Objects, Graduated Series: Designed for Children Between the Ages of Six and Fourteen Years
An objection has been made to these Lessons, that they put fine words into children's mouths, and give them an air of ped autry - but the evil in reality is the effect of the ignorance that has hitherto prevailed as to the properties of the most common things by which we are surrounded, and the consequent poverty of the poor man's language. When the love of knowledge is excited, and the habit of intelligent observation cultivated, words and phrases are required to define accurately what so often other wise remains vague' impressions on the mind; consequently a more extended vocabulary is requisite, and when no simple and common words can be found to express (for instance, such very important and common qualities as opacity and transparency), the only terms our language affords must be used, and the reproach of pedantry be risked.
