The Ethics Of The Dust Ten Lectures To Little Housewives On The Elements Of Crystallization

The following lectures were really given in substance at a girls' school (far in the country); which in the course of various experiments on the possibility of introducing some better practice of drawing into the modern scheme of female education I visited frequently enough to enable the children to regard me as a friend. The Lectures always fell more or less into the form of fragmentary answers to questions; and they are allowed to retain that form as on the whole likely to be more interesting than the symmetries of a continuous treatise. Many children (for the school was large) took part at different times in the conversations; but I have endeavored without confusedly multiplying the number of imaginary speakers to represent as far as I could the general tone of comment and inquiry among young people.
