Sinossi
Excerpt from First Lessons in Science: Designed for the Use of Children
These Lessons were originally written for the use of a class of native adults, who were learning to read English. It seemed desirable that they should be gaining some information, as they read about the state of things around them, instead of wasting their energies upon the child's story of Dick Bell and his doings. I have accordingly written the first portion of this little book in words of one syllable. And I have endeavoured throughout to avoid, as much as possible, such words and expressions, as are likely to embarrass a reader of this kind. This part is the first of a series, which will treat in order more fully of Astronomy, Geology, &c., presenting such facts only as ought to be known to every one. I have had to contend with the difficulty of not being able to get suitable engravings prepared in this colony. I may be able to obtain them from England for a future edition. Mean while I have done what I could, by means of simple directions, to enable the Teacher to draw for the native student such figures as he may need; or he may be able to find them already drawn, in elementary school-books.
