THE INTERROGATIVE OR INTELLECTUAL
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION,
BY QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES WITHOUT
ANSWERS.
IT is r.ow about twenty years since the Proprietor
of the under-mentioned Works submitted to the Conductors
of Schools the first specimens of that series of improved Ele-
mentary Books which he had planned fur 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 under the de-
nomination of the INTEttROCATITE STSTEM ; and, RS opposed to
some popular mechanical Systems, its Inventor has also defined
it, by way of eminence, the TMINKING or INTELT.PCTI,./1. SYSTEM
—from the obligation to think, or mentally work oh the subject.
of study, which it imposes en the pupil; and from the general
inTroeemeut of the intellectual Faculties, of which habitual
merta: exercise is a necessary consequence. •
Tile System, in the impel:sr Works published under the names
of Goldsmith, Blair, Barrow, Adair, &c. has been introdu,ed
Imo nearly every S.:hnol of character in the British Empire,
and has met syith a degree of approbation far exceeding the on-'
ginal expeetatious of its author. The principle of teaching by
Questions without Anne :re, which requires that tie. pupil should
furnish answers to goes:ions, often complicated, trona the scat-
tered data of his book, demanded various preparations on the
part of the tutor; but the publication of the Tutor's Key, con-
taining answers to above six thousand questions, has removed
every difficulty iu practice..
Among the competitors of the Interrogative System, the re-
spected notate of P.:stab/al has appeared; bus it ought to be
known that his Systalin is precisely that to which the public at-
tention is now invited, but which was titlSht in England many
years before the name of Pestalozzl in any manner transpired.
Others have anneTed questions to their books, and claimed kin-
dred merit ; but, on all unhap2y misconception of the principle,
their question; accord in arrangement exactly with the order of
the data to which they refer, and there:arc agard no exercise
to the intellectual faculties. Others, spin, have so far mistaken
the term Interrogative System,' as to obtrude on the public,
under its sanerian, a series of books on the ulasJlan plan of
question and answ-r. While others have basely imitated both
the inventor's plan and his books, and have pr.iduc:(l various
supertielal, vit!,;ar, and inadequate, compilations, whose only re-
CC/W3ter...la:Le:l'A have been their close imitation or.his Title-pages,
Or-ranwats, aced Bindings.
As a means or protecting the public against all such artifices,
and cf suppor:ing the reputation of his series of Books, he has
therefore pidgad it expedient ttssubjoia a COMPLETE LIST
of these ORIGINAL WORKS:
