The first part discusses the principles of education and the second part focuses on the application of these principles to various subjects, such as language, mathematics, and science. Spurzheim also discusses the importance of physical education, moral education, and the role of the family in educating children. Overall, ""A View of the Elementary Principles of Education"" is an important work in the history of education and provides valuable insights into the principles of education based on the study of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
