Excerpt from Observations on Fundamental Principles and Some Existing Defects in National Education
IN teaching the geography of a kingdom it aids the memory of students to place before them at first an outline-map, marking conspicuously only the principal things to be remembered, as the capital and other chief cities, the course of the principal rivers, the situation of remarkable hills, forests, lakes, &c. These are easily remembered, while subordinate things readily connect themselves with the principal. A kindred advantage arises to the students of that general knowledge of the world which the experience of mankind through past ages has been gradually accumulating, and the having or not having which produces the difference between the ignorant, uncultivated, miserable men called savages.
