Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This is an excellent book still very relevant today. Why are our children graduating school still unable to think? Sure, many of them can name lists of facts and can verbalize "other people's" ideas, theories etc but can they think, reason, develop their own opinions and ideas through their own research and seeking out of knowledge? Are they encouraged to do this in schools today? I think not and this book tells why and how it should and can be. Though written in the early part of the 20th Century, if you didn't know it you'd think it was written quite recently.
