Responds to an invitation to attend Dr Imlach's lectures on 'Physiology and Physical Geography' at a Sittingbourne school. The author modifies the proposed subjects of the lectures in order to 'adapt them to the infantine capacity'. For example, 'Animal Functions' is detailed as 'The Duties of Donkeys', while 'The Properties of Matter' is detailed as the song 'Oh, dear, what can the matter be?'. |
