182313925Dedham: H. & W. H. Mann 1823. First Edition. Sewn binding. Good . Large octavo 25pp. Ex-library with two stamps to the title page and a few stray pencil markings else clean. Side-sewing intact but extra stab holes and missing wrappers suggest that it was removed at some point from a bound volume of other works. Marginal tear to pp. 3-4 just barely approaches text else with shallower chips and tears to extremities. Untrimmed. Minimal foxing; a good or better example. Horace Mann's first publication which he printed at his own expense. A passionate and upbeat celebration of America's first 47 years which looks forward to the fruits of westward expansion. Published when Mann was a young lawyer; in fact the same year that he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. As such it precedes his earliest writings on education--the subject for which he is best remembered--by more than a decade. Missed by his early bibliographers. <br /> <br /> Scarce in the trade. OCLC records perhaps a dozen holdings distinctly concentrated in Massachusetts. Sabin only records a posthumous reprint as part of a collected edition. American Imprints 13120. H. & W. H. Mann unknown

He served in the Massachusetts Senate from 1834 to 1837. In 1848 after serving as Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education since its creation he was elected to the US House of Representatives. Arguing that universal public education was the best way to turn the nation's unruly children into disciplined judicious republican citizens Mann won widespread approval from modernizers especially in his Whig Party for building public schools. Most states adopted one version or another of the system he established in Massachusetts especially the program for "normal schools" to train professional teachers. Mann has been credited by many educational historians as the "Father of the Common School Movement" Wikipedia</p> W.H. & O. H. Morrison
