On the whole I think this was pretty good. My concentration was disrupted somewhat while reading it by other stuff I had going on at the time, and while not heavy reading, I wasn't always able to throw my whole attention into it, which limited the enjoyment of it to a degree. Without the distractions I would have finished it much quicker. Doddridge came across as a very pleasant and likeable character and worthy of emulation in many ways and I'm glad to have read it and learned more of him. One tends to hear some rather negative assessments of the fruits of his labours, but whatever the outcomes may have been of his method of teaching, it's hard to find anything here that he could be condemned for. The book was beautifully produced, such nice large and clear print on such thick paper, making it a pleasure to read in that respect alone.
