Excerpt from Self-Education or the Philosophy of Mental Improvement Independent of these considerations. There are a variety of reasons for discussing more fully the laws of mental nu improvement. Were it ascertained that education is exr elusively the gift of the schools, we yet require to be better informed on what principles it is imparted.

They must continue to learn, and as they cannot always remain at school, it is es sential that they should know whether further i'ndprovement is practicable or not. If not fully convinced of the amrm a'ti've -of this question, they will think their education is completed and rest where' others have done to the great disgrace 'of learning. It will be the object of these pages to supply hints that may be useful even to those who en joy all the advantages afi'or ded by the schools.
