Reseña del editor
Sciences is so much neglected in England at present, it is certainly not for the want of illustrious professors. Nevertheless, the great majority of all classes are scarcely acquainted with even the rudiments of these branches of knowledge, because the primary instruction of children does not include any of these very useful sciences, which would be a real amusement to them, and which are of such numerous and frequent application in the arts, industry, agriculture, commerce, and, in short, the ordinary business of life. What is to be done to remedy this state of things? We must inspire and develop a taste for the sciences from infancy, and for this purpose must select one of the simplest and most attractive practical sciences, which is also of very frequent application. Natural History will certainly answer our purpose best. In truth, the peculiar attraction which natural history possesses for children is so striking, that most writers of elementary books try to make them interesting to the scholars by giving pictures and descriptions of animals. Unfortunately, these pictures are often bad, and represent the rat of the same size as the lion, and thus tend to mislead the notions of children ;and the descriptions are generally no better than the pictures in this respect.
