SOME THOUGHTS CONCERNING EDUCATION. « T O Edward Clarke of Chi sky, Esq;, S I R, HE SE Thoughts concerning Education, which now come Abroad into the World, do of right belong to You, being written several Years since for Your sake, and are no other than what You have already by You in my Letters. I have so little varied any Thing, but only the Order of what was sent You at different Times, and on several Occasions, that the Reader will easily find, in the Familiarity and Fashion ofthe Style, that they were rather tbe private Conversation of two Friends, than a Discourse designed for publiek View. The Importunity of Friends is the common Apology for Publications Men are afraid to own themselves forward to.

But You know 1 can truly fay, That if some, who having heard of these Papers of mine, had not pressed to fee them, and afterwards to have them printed, they had lain dormant still in that Privacy they were designed for. But those whose Judgment I defer much to, telling me, That they were persuaded, that this rough Draught of mine might be of some Use, if made more publiek, touch'd upon what will always be very prevalent with me. For I think it every Alan's indifpenfible Duty, to do all the Service he can to his Country ; And I Jee not what Difference he puts between himself and his Cattel, who lives without that Thought. This Subject is of so great Concernment, and a right way of Education is ef so general Advantage, that did I find my Abilities answer my Wishes, I should not have needed Exhortations or Importunities from others.
