Excerpt from An Essay on the Systematic Training of the Body
The object of this little volume is the advancement of physical education in schools. The book is therefore addressed chiefly to teachers.
The first part of the Essay is intended to show the important position held by physical education among ancient nations, particularly among the Greeks; and to point out that the rise and decay of their general culture was intimately connected with the cultivation or the neglect of corporeal training. This historical sketch is, however, only an introduction to the second part of the Essay, which treats of physical education from a physiological point of View and, its design being chiefly that of substantiating and strengthening the opinions expressed in this latter portion, I have therefore not thought it necessary to give either great extent or completeness of illustration to my historical details.
