| Titolo: | The alphabets of nature : children, books and natural history in Scotland, circa 1750-1800 / Matthew Eddy. |
| Abstract: | This essay examines the kinds of textbooks thatwere used to teach natural knowledge to children in eighteenth-century Scotland. Following Roger Chartier's belief that the forms and uses of print can be employed to categorise the content of texts, I focus on three groups of books that were used in specific settings: (1) homes, academies and parish schools; (2) social and professional settings where adolescents worked; (3) and high schools. I do not take these groupings to be definitive, but more as a preliminary categorisation. Along the way I treat various historiographic points relevant to the canon of Scottish pedagogy and I comment on some issues relevant to the instruction of girls. I conclude by calling for more studies that address how and where children's bookswere used during the Enlightenment |
