Synopsis:
Excerpt from Conversations on Common Things, or Guide to Knowledge: With Questions
If Parents and Teachers shall, on examination, approve and adopt this for their children and pupils, I shall feel a degree of satisfaction, that the hours employed in writing, whether redeemed from sleep, or appropriated after the fatigues and labours of daily school duties were fulfilled, have not been profitless, and that I have attained the object of my highest ambition,-the improvement of children, and their advancement in the path of learning.
