swer the grand design had in view by his Creator. This irritation arises from the violation of those laws of health under which he is placed. Hence a knowledge of those laws which govern the whole machinery is essential to its preservation, control and proper use.

The principle, "Knothi se Auton," is as important to the physical, as to the moral man. The physical and moral are inseparably united by an all-wise Creator in our very being. They perfectly harmonize, and are so interwoven that they cannot be separated in any system of training without injury; and the more they are disjoined, the greater will be the injury sustained. They lie at the foundation on which the whole superstructure is to be reared. That system of education, or medical instruction, which does not give a thorough knowledge, and make a just application of these laws, is essentially defective, and can never answer the grand end of a proper training. Mere book-learning is comparatively nothing; but those influences which operate in forming the character and directing its energies, are the sum and substance of education. It was a wise answer of Agisilus, to the question what things is it of the most importance for boys to learn-" those which they are to practise when they come to be men." The proper system of education must commence, in a broad sense, in the nursery-be carried through the family, the common school, the academy and the college, and into the active and busy scenes of life, and the laws of health incorporated into that system as a branch of education.

But before this can be accomplished, the science of human life and healthful existence must be divested of technical terms and brought down to the capacity of every instructor of youth, in training men for present and future existence.

To aid in accomplishing these things, so much desired, is the object of this Journal. How well it will serve this object, is for the reader to decide. This volume, besides what the editor has written himself, contains articles from the pens of such men, in the medical profession, as Drs. Warren, Channing, Alden, Allen, &c.; in the clerical, Winslow, Blagden, Waterman, Tappan, &c.; in the legal, Kent, Moore, &c.; and from a considerable number of practical teachers. Such as it is, it is now submitted, by the Editor, to the candor of the public.
