The Blank Book Of A Small Colleger (1824)

By Erskine Neale

Book Overview

The Blank Book Of A Small Colleger is a book written by Erskine Neale and published in 1824. The book is a collection of blank pages that were originally intended for the author to fill with his own thoughts and musings. However, he decided to publish the book as is, with the blank pages intact, as a commentary on the state of education and intellectualism in his time. Neale was a student at a small college in England, and he was frustrated by the lack of intellectual rigor and creativity in the curriculum. He believed that students were being taught to memorize facts and regurgitate them on exams, rather than to think critically and develop their own ideas. The Blank Book Of A Small Colleger is a satirical critique of this educational system. By leaving the pages blank, Neale is suggesting that the education he received was so devoid of original thought and creativity that he had nothing to write about. The book is a call to action for educators to focus on cultivating intellectual curiosity and creativity in their students, rather than simply teaching them to memorize information. Overall, The Blank Book Of A Small Colleger is a unique and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to think critically about the purpose and value of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
