| General note | "The plan itself is a borrowed one; and you must certainly recollect its model in one of your own little books, where ... you give a brief description of the several months ... What you have done for a child three or four years, I have attempted for young people from ten to fourteen. I have collected more circumstances, entered into some details of natural history, opened some general views of that grand system, the Economy of nature"--To Mrs. Barbauld ("Dear sister"), p. [5-6], signed by J. Aikin, and dated at Warrington, May, 20, 1784. |
