To show the character oil The work, we annex
the following card OF gentleman who is known
10 be distinguished champion OF general edu-
cation:
al have examined Mr. Fishers "Dial Of the
Seasons" with great pleasure Passing By lis
more obvious merits, it seems 10 me TO have
one of peculiar value and interest. IL shows the
connection between the different sciences mnfe
beautifully and COMPREHENSIVE Than anything
else which have ever seen. II groups together
not merely Astronomy and Geography, bu,
Metcorology, Botany, Zoology and The natural
and civil history OF mar; and hence, also, Gov
ernment commerce, the arts, &c. 1t brings back
the mind TO The idea Of unity, after the feeling Of
diversity which the various sciences have i'm
parted Cicero never could have conceived 50
beautiful and extensive an illusir alton Of his
mime uincuiitm, because sufficient number OF
sciences did not exist TO permit IT,
"Where schools are sufficiently advanced 10
understand The comprehensive relations exhibit
ed by The "Dia" think il may be made very
useful. HORACE MANN,
":secreiary ofthe Massachusetts
Boardof Education.
