Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Works of Christopher Dock: America's Pioneer Writer on Education; With a Translation of His Works Into the English Language
Many learned authors have vied with each other in doing homage to the memory of one so worthy. To have written the earliest American book upon the subject of school teaching is a fact suficient in itself sooner or later to attract the attention of men of letters, but that fact is much emphasized when the study of his essay discloses that he was far in advance of his time and that in his methods of teaching and of enforcing discipline he forecast what more recent experience has proven to be correct.
