Elizabeth Harrison’s Writings
So kind and sympathetic a reception has been given my " Study of Child-Nature", wherein I treat of the value of understanding and wisely training the INHERETED INSTINCTS of the children, that I have ventured in this book to put forth some suggestions concerning the use of ENVIRONMENT in education.

Thanking a generous public for its past interest, I make no other apology for putting it before the book.
