THE INTERROGATIVE OR INTELLECTUAL
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION,
BY QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES WITHOUT
ANSWERS.

TT is now about twenty years since the Proprietor
IT
of the under-mentioned Works submitted to the Conductors
of Schools the first specimens of that series of improved Ele-
mentary Books which he bad phnncd for the purpose of
facili-
tating the Instruction of Youth, and rendering the acquirement
of knowledge at once pleasant, rapid, and certain.
This System has since been known to the world uncles the do-,
nomination of the Isriataonarive STSTEST ; and, as opposieti-to
some popular mechanical Systems, its Inventor his also defined
it, by was of eminence, the THISKING or ISITLLECTUAL SYSTZS:
—from the obligation to think, or mentally work on the subject
of study, which it imposes en the pupil; and from the general
improvement of the Intellectual Faculties, of which habitual
mental exercise is anecesiary consequence..

This System, in the popular Works published under the names
of Goldsmith, Blair, Barrow, Adair, &c. has been introduced
into nearly every School of character in the British Empire,
and has met with a degree of approbation far exceeding the ori-
ginal expectations of its author. The principle of teaching by
Questions without Answers, which requires that the pupil should
furnish answers to questions, often complicated, from the scat-
tered data of his book, demanded various preparations on the
part of the tutor; but the publication of the Tames Key, con-
taining answers to above six thousand questions, has removed
every difficulty in practice.
Among the competitors of the Interrogative System, the re-
spected name of Pestalozzi has appeared; but it ought to be
known that his Systein is precisely that to which. the public at-
tention is now invited, hut which was taught in England many
years before the name of Pestalozzi in any manner transpired.
Others have annexed questions to their books, and claithed kin-
dred merit; but, on ar: unhappy misconception of the principle,
their questions accord in arrangeinent exactly with the order of
the data to which they refer, and therefore afford no exercise
to the intellectual faculties. Others, again, have so far mist ,ken
the term " Interrogative System," as to obtrude on the public,
under its sanction, a series of books on the obmlete plan of
question and answer. While others have basely imitated both
the inventor's plan and his books, and hare produced various
superficial, vidgar, and inadequate, compilatinna, whose only re-
commendations have been their close imitation of his Title:pages,
Types, Ornaments, and Bindings.
As a means of protecting the public against all such artifices,
and of supporting the,reputation of his series of Books, he has
therefore judged it expedient to subjoin a COMPLETE LIST
of these Olt I GINA WORKS: _ _
