Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Education, Vol. 1 of 5: Or, the Principles and Practice of Teaching No English book on education has been oftener called for than this during the past Ave years; but a;s the original edition was exhausted and the publishers did not replace it, copies have been wholly unattainable. Accordingly, I have re-printed it at Col. Parker's desire and from a copy lent me by him, following the English edition exactly, even to the paging, but reducing the price to $1.50 per copy. It is not, however, stereotyped and only one thousand copies have been printed. The publisher confesses that he lacked faith when Col. Parker asked him to reprint a book like this for American teachers, and the original edition of a thousand copies was published more as a favor to Col. Parker than in the hope that it would ever be sold. But a general awakening to the necessity of pedagogical reading, and especially the establishment of Teachers' Reading Circles all over the country, with lists of books to be read by every member has aroused an unprecedented call for standard works on teaching. In nearly every such list this work has been one of the first selected, as, for instance, in New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois, and other States. To meet this demand the present edition has been prepared. By the use of more open type the number of pages is increased from 830 to 400, and the book can now be supplied in any quantitics ordered.
