184713175Boston: Redding & Co 1847. First Edition. Softcover. Very good-. Octavo 59pp. About very good in the publisher's printed wrappers. Oil stain to the front wrap moderate internal foxing else a sound clean copy. Smith was a pious Unitarian preacher who was concerned that neither the bible nor the corporal punishment were being used in the new common schools then championed by Horace Mann. Mann the great Progressive took great pains to answer Smith's complaints and their correspondence is printed here. Mann of course believed in non-sectarian education and did indeed advocate a much less enthusiastic use of corporal punishment in schools. Nevertheless this argument nicely represents the strain of Puritanism that he was up against and how he had to both appease and push back against the conservative cultural forces of his day. The pamphlet is scarce in the trade; we found no auctino records in the past century. Sabin 83572. Redding & Co unknown
