        For thougheducation, in the true sense of the word, is necessary to excellence, yet a question still lies open, What iseducation? Is it certain old rules of thinking which require to be forced on the individual by others, more particularly than those which, by the exercise of his own faculties, he perceives in nature and life within and around him, and seizes, concentrates, abstracts, and digests for himself? Some do this spontaneously with unaccountable facility, such as Shakespeare, Burns, and Ebenezer Elliot; while others never can be tutored into any method of it by old rules, and often, when even stuffed in "the schools" to repletion, feel only besotted from a mind full of old abstruse indigestibles.
