Excerpt from Home Education In again sending this volume to the press, I have read it with care, and have introduced many verbal corrections, but neither the lapse of years, nor the further opportunity which I have had of watching the effect of different modes of education, has tended much to alter my opinion in any important instance affecting the principles or methods of such a system of domestic training as it has been my purpose to recommend. At the first I was far from professing to believe that a Home Education could, even with girls, be generally adopted, or found practicable, much less so with boys. If in any degree the opinion entertained, on this point fourteen years ago, has undergone a change, it is only so far as this, that now, more decisively than then, I must admit a school training to be, in all but a few exceptive cases, the best for boys, and that it should be regarded as almost indispensable to their forming those habits of continuous application upon which success in life depends.
