ABSTRACT

Many of my fellow Teachers whose eyes will fall upon these pages have visited the Great Exhibition, others are contemplating doing so, while not a few will be deprived of the privilege, and only become acquainted with this modern marvel through the medium of the press, or from oral descriptions. To all these classes of individuals, but especially to the last, a few rough notes on the Exhibition may not be unacceptable, whilst they will serve as a permanent record of some of the fleeting thoughts which passed through a visitor’s mind, – thoughts which otherwise might have been forgotten even by himself. Should they prove of no great value in themselves they may be useful as a revelation of mental process and thought-development.
