if properly managed, children may learn with ease,
expedition, and delight, a variety of knowledge; and a skilful
preceptor can apply in conversation all the principles that we have
laboriously endeavoured to make intelligible.

FOOTNOTES:

[113] Mrs. Honora Edgeworth, daughter of Edward Sneyd, Esq. of
Litchfield. As this lady's name has been mentioned in a monody on the
death of Major Andre, we take this opportunity of correcting a mistake
that occurs in a note to that performance.

"Till busy rumour chas'd each pleasing dream, And quench'd the
radiance of the silver beam."

_Monody on Major Andre._

The note on these lines is as follows:

"The tidings of Honora's marriage. Upon that event Mr. Andre quitted
his profession as a merchant, and joined our army in America."

Miss Honora Sneyd was married to Mr. Edgeworth in July, 1773, and the
date of Major Andre's first commission in the Welch Fusileers is March
4th, 1771.

[114] This has been formerly quoted in the preface to the Parent's
Assistant.

[115] The anecdotes mentioned in the _preceding_ pages, were read to
the children with the rest of the work.

[116] Soame Jennings's.

[117] Voltaire.

[118] V. Johnson's Life of Browne.

[119] Parent's Assistant.
