Excerpt from The Scientific Spirit of the Age: And Other Pleas and Discusions
In the present little collection of Essays, written at various times and for various objects, it will be found that the first three belong to the class which I have described as Pleas, and the last three more or less to that of Discussions.
I plead that the Scientific Spirit of the Age, while it has given us many precious things, is, in its pres ent exorbitant development, depriving us of things more precious still.
I plead that the Education of the Emotions (to be carried on chie¿y through the contagion of good and noble sentiments) is an Object of paramount importance, albeit nearly totally ignored in ordinary systems of education.
