About this book
James Gall, an Edinburgh Sabbath-school teacher who invented the triangular alphabet for the blind, wrote this book in 1840 from more than thirty years of experience in teaching the young. He describes himself as a plain man aiming at a popularly useful book.
Part One argues for treating education as a science and teaching as an art. Part Two looks at how Nature teaches the young, with chapters on repetition, individuation, grouping and classification, and on applying knowledge through common sense.
