The Juvenile Budget Reopened: Being Further Selections from the Writings of Doctor John Aikin, with Copious Notes (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 16. jul. 2015 - 256 sider Excerpt from The Juvenile Budget Reopened: Being Further Selections From the Writings of Doctor John Aikin, With Copious Notes Our young readers are indebted, for most of the Contents of this little Volume, to dr. John aikin, an English gentleman, who, during a long life, de voted much Of his time and talents to benefiting his fellow-beings, by inculcating sound principles of morality, and enlarging the sphere Of their knowl edge. He wrote much, wrote carefully, and wrote well for all classes, and all ages but, such was his regard for the young, and his desire for their welfare, that no kind Of occupation gave him more pleasure, than that Of writing for the amusement and instruction Of children and we believe his lit tle works for little folks have exerted the widest and happiest influence, and should be the most highly cherished, Of all his productions. For, at the time that he wrote, few thought it worth their while to turn their attention to the wants Of the young, supposing they would gain more credit, by addressing themselves to grown people.
