Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

M. Jules Steeg has rendered a real service to French and American teachers by his judicious selections from Rousseau's Emile.

For the three-volume novel of a hundred years ago, with its long disquisitions and digressions, so dear to the heart of our patient ancestors, is now distasteful to all but lovers of the curious in books.<br><br>Emile is like an antique mirror of brass; it reflects the features of educational humanity no less faithfully than one of more modern construction.

In these few pages will be found the germ of all that is useful in present systems of education, as well as most of the ever-recurring mistakes of well-meaning zealots.<br><br>The eighteenth century translations of this wonderful book have for many readers the disadvantage of an English style long disused.

It is hoped that this attempt at a new translation may, with all its defects, have the one merit of being in the dialect of the nineteenth century, and may thus reach a wider circle of readers.
