Excerpt from Four Periods of Public Education as Reviewed in 1832-1839 1846-1962 in Papers, Vol. 2 Self-knowledge, inculcated by the maxim of the ancient philosopher, is a precept not less appropriate to societies than to individuals. The physical and moral evils by which we are personally surrounded, may be more easily avoided when we are distinctly conscious of their existence, and the virtue and health of society may be preserved, with less difficulty, when we are acquainted with the sources of its errors and diseases. The sensorium of the animal structure, to which converge the sensibilities of each organ, is endowed with a consciousness of every change in the sensations to which each member is liable, and few diseases are so subtle as to escape its delicate perceptive power. Pain thus reveals to us the existence of evils, which, unless arrested in their progress, might insidiously invade the sources of vital action.
