HIS book was intended to be the first of a series entitled THIS a Pedagogical Library, devoted to methods of teaching, one volume of which was to be occupied with each of the more important branches of instruction in grammar and high schools. The design and plan of the work was not to produce systematic treatises, and still less to develop anything ultimate or absolute in method; but to gather together, in the form most likely to be of direct practical utility to teachers, and especially students and readers of history, generally, the opinions and modes of instruction, actual or ideal, of eminent and representative specialists in each department. The present volume has been an unremunerated work of love on the part of each writer, and the appearance of subsequent volumes in the series is not yet assured. It should be added that the articles are printed in the order in which they were received by the editor. Teachers in whom a methodic interest has been awakened will find many useful hints in the following books, pamphlets, and articles: Georg Gottfried Gervinus. 1837. pp. 95. Grundzüge der Historik. Leipzic, F.Jacobi. Grundzüge einer neuen Methode für den vaterländischen Geschichtsunterricht in deutschen Schulen. Nürnberg, 1839. |
