Excerpt from On the Mental Illumination and Moral Improvement of Mankind, or an Inquiry Into the Means by Which a General Diffusion of Knowledge and Moral Principle May Be Promoted, Vol. 5: Ilustrated With EngravingsThe train of thought which runs through the following Work has been familiar to the Author's mind for upwards of twenty-six years. Nearly twenty years ago, he intended to address the public on this subject; but he is now convinced that, at that period, the attempt would have been premature, and consequently unsuccessful. He took several opportunities, however, of suggesting a variety of hints on the necessity of new-modelling and improving the system of education - particularly in the London "Monthly Magazine," the "Edinburgh Christian Instructor," the "Christian Recorder," the "Perth Courier," and several other publications, as well as in several parts of his former volumes. - Of late years the attention of the public has been directed to this subject more than at any former period, and even the British Legislature has been constrained to take into consideration the means by which the benefits of education may be more extensively enjoyed. It is therefore to be hoped, that the subject will now undergo a deliberate and unbiased consideration, corresponding to its interest and importance.In endeavouring to establish a new system of education - although every requisite improvement could not, in the first instance, be effected, - yet nothing short of a comprehensive and efficient system should be the model after which we ought to copy, and to which all our arrangements should gradually approximate. To, attempt merely to extend the present, in many respects inefficient and limited system, without adopting those improvements which experience and the progress of society have rendered necessary, would be only to postpone to an indefinite period what must ultimately be established, if society is expected to go on in its progress towards perfection.In the following volume the author has exhibited a brief outline of the whole series of instructions requisite for man, considered as an intelligent and moral agent destined to immortality - from the earliest dawn of reason to the period of manhood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

<p>Every single person on Earth should be considered a school unto him- or herself. That's because, for maximum human flourishing, learning should be a highly personalized experience that lasts an entire lifetime. In the year 2050 there will be about nine billion people on our planet, which means there should be that many "schools" by then, too. The 9 Billion Schools movement seeks to help realize a vision where every person has access to ample and relevant learning opportunities not only during their traditional education years, but throughout their careers as well as in support of their hobbies and passions. One of the book's reviewers summed it up so well: “The challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century are so immense--of planetary scale and import--it's hard to know where to start. But no innovation has the power to unlock more solutions than innovation in education, especially educational innovation that releases the talents of the great scope and diversity of humanity. 9 Billion Schools is not just for education policy, but also for climate policy, food policy, health policy and energy policy. It’s not just about doing what’s right by the aspirations of the nine billion individual humans that will inhabit the Earth in 2050, but it is also about doing what’s right for their posterity and the planet itself.” — Dave Guston, Founding Director and Professor, School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University</p>
