OF

DOMESTIC EDUCATION;

PRACTICALLY ILLUSTRATED,

IN

A SERIES OF SMALL BOOKS,

CONDUCTED ON A UNIFORM PLAN,

AND

INTENDED TO QUALIFY PARENTS, IN EVERY RANK,

FOR

The Elementary Enstruction of their Children”

IN THE BASIS OF ALL KNOWLEDGE.

PROSPECTUS AND PLAN.

THIS Series, which is to be prepared and printed under the superintendence of a person, intimately acquainted with Pestalozzi's views, assisted by different eminent individuals, also practically conversant with his ideas, is to be conducted on a uniform and digested plan,-so as to make a complete and consistent whole;-and when perfected, will comprize, at least, the following Books ;-each practically applying the principles, laid down in Pestalozzi's Works, to the domestic and elementary education of children of every, rank, in the basis of all knowledge. To the corresponding parts will be added brief Appendixes, the first two of which will contain the plan, by which even the Deaf and Dumb can be taught to speak distinctly, and to know what is said, by watching the mouth of a speaker, and thus reading the words, with their eyes, off his lips. The latter Appendixes also will further explain the system, upon which alone the Deaf and Dumb can be taught, to read and write a language of words, to understand language perfectly, to read all books, and to write their own thoughts; and will besides apply, collaterally, to the illustration of the education of hearing children, in various branches, such parts of that system, as may be found applicable to this purpose. The whole of these works will be original, and on a novel and uniform plan.

ciples, that can be safely applied to parental education.
