General Note:
"At the time these 'Lessons' were commenced, the author was teaching a few children; and no book on natural philosophy suited to their capacity was to be found. It was written for their benefit, and taught to them as it progressed. The form of question and answer was used in the manuscript, and is retained as the simplest method of instruction. Its introduction as a text-book throughout the United States, indicated a measure of approval that far exceeded the expectations of the writer, and she presents to the public a new and improved edition"--Preface, p. [5].
