Synopsis

Excerpt from Letters to My Pupils: With Narrative and Biographical Sketches Instructors are wont to find the requisitions of written thought, formidable to their pupils. Especially, to the younger classes, the production of grave essays, at stated times, and the liabilities of criticism, are appalling. The reluctance of those entrusted to my care, was diminished by being encouraged to simple efforts in the epistolary style, addressed to me, with the expectation of a response. My letters, thus prompted, became numerous; and it has been recently suggested that, coupled with some delineation of the schools that called them forth, they would be interesting to others still engaged in the pursuits of education. Of this, I am, perhaps, not the best judge. But at least, I am sure of having found great pleasure in their preparation. It has given new life to imagery and associations connected with those lovely and true-hearted beings, whose intercourse made some of the years of early life so cloudless.
