Excerpt from Dartmouth Parsonage: A Tale for Youth
Here then is the plain statement of facts connected with this Narrative. Could you read my heart you would there find, that I am conscious the exertions which have been made on the behalf of this little book, are much more numerous and important than it deserves. Since many persons of dis tinguished talents have written on the subject of Education, it would havebeen the extreme of presumption in me to attempt any thing like laying down a system of instruction. It may be truly said of me, I have written to learn, not to teach. This end has, I trust, been in some measure accom plished; for if I have gained nothing else, I h0pe I have learnt that I yet know but little and consequently that I have much to learn. Were my nu feigned thanks worthy the acceptance of my numerous and respectable sub scribers, I would offer them with heart felt gratitude; at the same time plead ing for their candour, and intreating them to remember that this is the effort of one, who is fullyiaware that she has no sort of claim to the credit of supe rior intellectual powers.
