Summary:

This book is about children from around the ages of seven to fourteen, the period in a child’s life when it is ‘educated’, in the very broadest sense of the word.Only about the age of about seven were they considered robust enough to learn seriously, and to be sufficiently developed intellectually to be able to distinguish right from wrong, and so be fit enough to be instructed in morals.
