Principles Of Education: Drawn From Nature And Revelation And Applied To Female Education In The Upper Classes (1865)

By Elizabeth Missing Sewell

Book Overview

""Principles of Education"" is a book written by Elizabeth M. Sewell in 1865. The book draws on both nature and revelation to provide principles of education that are specifically applicable to the education of upper-class females. Sewell argues that education should be based on the natural development of the individual and that it should be geared towards the cultivation of moral character, intellectual abilities, and practical skills. She emphasizes the importance of religious education and the cultivation of Christian values in the education of young women. The book provides practical advice on curriculum, teaching methods, and the role of parents and teachers in the education of their children. With a focus on the education of upper-class females, Sewell's work provides insight into the social and cultural norms of the Victorian era and the expectations placed on women in that time period. Overall, ""Principles of Education"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education, gender studies, or Victorian culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
