Excerpt from Charlotte Bronté The "Home College Series" will contain one hundred short papers on a wide range of subjects - biographical, historical, scientific, literary, domestic, political, and religions. Indeed, the religious tone will characterize all of them. They are written for every body - for all whose leisure is limited, but who desire to use the minutes for the enrichment of life. These papers contain seeds front the best gardens in all the world of human knowledge, and if dropped wisely into good soil, wi'l bring forth harvests of beauty and value. They are for the young - especially for young people (and older people, too) who are out of tho schools, who are full of "business" and "cares, " who are in danger of reading nothing, or of reading a sensational literature that is worse than nothing. One of these papers a week read over and over, thought and talked about at "odd times, " will give in one year a vast fund of information, an intellectual quickening, worth even more than the mere knowledge acquired, a taste for solid reading, many hours of simple and wholesome pleasure, and ability to talk intelligently and helpfully to one's friends. Pastors may organize "Home College" classes, or "Lyceum Reading Unions." or "Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circles, " and help the young people to read and think and talk and live to worthier purpose. A young man may have his own little "college" all by himself, read this series of tracts one after the other, (there will soon be one hundred of them ready.) examine himself on them by the "Thought-Outline to Help the Memory." and thus gain knowledge, and, what is better, a love of knowledge. And what a young man may do in this respect, a young woman, and both old men and old women, may do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
