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.

Excerpt from Lessons on Objects, Graduated Series: Designed for Children Between the Ages of Six and Fourteen Years
The fourteenth edition of "Lessons on Objects" was published in London in 1855, under the auspices of the Home and Colonial Training Institution, and underwent at that time a thorough revision.
In this American edition many changes have been made in the arrangement of the Lessons. Some of the terms have been modified, others left out altogether. A number of the lessons have been omitted and others substituted in their place, and much information on common objects has been added. In the original work there were but few Model Lessons; in this, a large additional number have been inserted. These have been taken from "Manual of Elementary Instruction," "Model Lessons," and "Notes and Sketches of Lessons," all London publications. The arrangement of the Steps correspond to the arrangement in the "Manual of Elementary Instruction." The first three steps are designed for the first three years of the child's school life, or for the Primary Schools. The fourth and fifth steps are adapted to the junior or intermediate grade, or for pupils from ten to fourteen years of age.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating journey into the world of early childhood education, focusing on a revolutionary approach to teaching that was groundbreaking in its time. The author champions the use of everyday objects to stimulate children's senses and awaken their natural curiosity about the world around them. The book details a methodical progression of lessons, starting with simple observations and gradually introducing more complex concepts, like the properties of materials and the interconnectedness of objects and their uses. Published in the mid-nineteenth century, the book reflects a growing awareness of the importance of sensory experiences in early learning, challenging the traditional focus on rote memorization and abstract concepts. The author emphasizes the need for children to actively explore and discover for themselves, rather than passively receiving information from the teacher. Throughout the book, the author deftly weaves together the development of observation skills, vocabulary acquisition, and the importance of understanding the natural world. This book provides a compelling and timeless guide to unlocking the boundless potential of young minds, inspiring teachers and parents alike to nurture the natural wonder and curiosity that lies within every child.
