This scarce text was originally published in 1842 and is proudly republished here with an introductory biography of the author. What to Teach, and how to Teach it So that the Child May Become a Wise and Good Man is a 19th century conduct manual ostensibly detailing the proper methodology and theory behind correct educational practice, comprising chapters such as: The Relation between Reading and Writing, and Education, The Means of Exciting Attention, Rewards and Punishment, et cetera. Henry Mayhew was an English social researcher, playwright, and journalist. This is a rare text that will appeal to those interested in the history of social etiquette and the evolution of conduct manuals - a must-have for a collector.
