TICENOR AND COMPANY, in the Clerk's Office of the District HARVARD BOSTON: PRINTED BY THURSTON, TORRY, & EMERSON, 31 Devonshire Street. то GEORGE B. EMERSON, ESQ., President of the American Institute of Instruction. DEAR SIR, The germ of the present little work was a Lecture delivered before the body over which you preside, in the summer of 1841. The favor with which it was generally received, and especially your own warm commendation, in respect to its useful tendency toward the end in view, have encouraged me to this enlargement and greater finish. I now beg the honor of dedicating the humble volume, through your name, to SELF-CULTURISTS, to PARENTS, to SCHOOL-TEACHERS, and to those SCENERY-SEERS Who can already say, "With a pervading vision Beautiful! How beautiful is all this visible world!" With the highest respect, Your obedient servant, WARREN BURTON. May, 1844. |
