    AN ESSAY ON THE CULTURE OF THE OBSERVING POWERS OF CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY IN CONNECTION WITH THE STUDY OF BOTANY. By ELIZA A. YOUMANS, Edited, with Notes and a Supplement By JOSEPH PAYNE, F.C.P., Author of “ Lectures on the Science and Art of Education,” &c. Crown 8vo. 2s. Cd. The little hook, now under notice, is expressly designed to make the earliest instruction of children a mental discipline. Miss Youmans presents in her work the ripe results of educational experience re- duced to a system, wisely conceiving that an education—even the most elementary— should be regarded as a discipline of the mental powers, and that the facts of ex- ternal nature supply the most suitable materials for this discipline in the case of children. She has applied that principle to the study of botany. This study, ac- cording to her just notions on the subject, is to be fundamentally based on the exer- cise of the pupil’s own powers of observa- tion. He is to see and examine the pro- perties of plants and flowers at first hand, not merely to be informed of what others have seen and examined.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
