The great utility of it must be obvious to every one .
The list of authors that have been read within the above-stated time will shew that the two systems may be combined with the advantage of a great saving of time ; and the account of the method that has been pursued , and which I have endeavoured to make as explicit as possible , will , I hope , be considered satisfactory evidence that that advantage is obtained without the sacrifice of any other , and without furnishing any reasonable ground for the apprehension that a boy so instructed can never become a scholar , or
rise to eminence in any of the learned professions . I will conclude this paper with a few other observations made during the course of these experiments . The union of the two plans , while it compels a boy to labour , and furnishes him with sufficient exercise for all his mental faculties , appears to divest the study of language of every thing that wearies and disgusts ; and if I might not be thought to eulogize it with a partiality that conceals every
defect from my observation , I would say that it renders it one of the most agreeable branches of study . A boy , whose education , as it has been before mentioned , had been much neglected in every respect , is a remarkable proof of this . He had never made any attempt at learning a foreign language , and was unacquainted with the principles of . the . grammar of his own ; his talents were certainly rather below than above nzediocrity ; his
previous acquirements of any kind were very small ; he had no habits of application ; and school , either from the injudicious , treatment of the master , or some other cause , had become his abhorrence , as a place of uninteresting toil and drudgery . He joined the first Latin cfyss ; and the interest which the study excited in him appeared to effect immediately a ^ i entire change in his character and habits . From the commencement it seemed to form his delight : he was rarely seen from his desk , but at the entreaty of his
school-fellows ; his books were his almost constant companions : he had entered upon the task voluntarily ; # n 4 tfciere was flowingfp prevent his abandoning ^ whenever he had so pleased f ; but ^ , fl 6 yer fn anifes ' tea $ e least desire to relinquish the ^ nde ^ ajkin ^ ; At the ^ ^ xp ^ tjpn pfthe $ r | t year he read Terence and livy iiMa v e * yr ^ te $ gen )^ ^; grj ^ f yjjng ^ nner ; and as a further proof of the interest > $ ^ and his eagerness io makfe faiffiftejf nfflmMilm ^ pg < ^?^ PWP ^ before the condumoa of &e yea ^ he ^ fl l ^ ajL fox . fys \ wn p ^ mr ^ a » 4 amusement * without thei knowledge , of l ^ is tea ^^ er , ^ ii ^ a ^ t " ipp T $ M * daily employment , vtheMwhojefOfi JSepoi , Mwwin / th ^ spate ,, pf fjev ^ c ^ n days . ^ - ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦( ¦ •' ' "¦ : I' > - ) \ : .. j ^ - ' ( , m •¦ vtil- »'»; ) r c- < -jff ^ , ul ¦ -mi' -mm .
