Excerpt from Duty: A Book for SchoolsI believe there is nothing here from which any theist, of whatever name, will dissent.Some friends who have kindly listened to these pages before their publication have suggested that a larger expansion of certain parts of the book would be wise, but this it seems to me should be done rather by the teacher than by the writer. I have kept in mind constantly the quality of a text-book for schools, and, in my judgment, that is the best text-book which being also clear and comprehensive is the most compact. I have scrupulously striven to keep out everything redundant, having pity for the child's memory laden with useless verbiage. A good text-book is like good grain, to be planted for a harvest, rather than to be ground for bread.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
