Excerpt from Lessons on Objects: As Given to Children Between the Ages of Six and Eight, in a Pestalozzian School, at Cheam, Surrey

The following work is an improved edition of an English book entitled Lessons on Objects, originally published by the teachers of a Pestalozzian school, in which the lessons were given for many years before their publication.

In presenting them to the American public, the editor has found it necessary, besides frequently changing hard and Latinized words for common ones, to remove one fault existing in almost every English school-book; which is an apparently studied neglect of this country. With the exception of works on Geography, it would be difficult to find a book of this class in which the existence of the United States of America as one of the nations of the earth is recognized. The removal of this objection in a work treating of productions and manufactures, was a matter of obvious necessity.

It is presumed that the mere announcement of the subject and design of the present work, will arrest the attention of all those who are desirous of improving the methods of instruction. A demonstrative, explanatory, thorough system in all the different stages of instruction is now demanded by the public. The foundation of such a system must be laid in lessons on things.
