Excerpt from An Appeal to the Public, Especially Those Concerned in Education: Against the Wrong and Injury Done by Marcius Willson Again, the change of school books, without a sufficient rea son, is a great evil in our community. If every school-book, made by authors and publishers, merely to get money, by put ting together other people's materials, was out of the market, much of the embarrassment of teachers and school-committees would be avoided. In thus, reluctantly, coming before the public, I feel a confi dence which consoles me, that I shall find favor with the good and just. Such, who are women, will feel the cause to be their own and such, who are men, will attribute a peculiar sacredness to the interests of the weaker sex. Females have but few means of benefiting themselves or others, compared with males and when men go so far as to confederate against a woman, society at large requires of them, that their cause should be other than avarice, and their weapons, other than defamation. Io - Having premised thus much by way of introduction, we now proceed to give some history of the Report of Mr. Marcius Willson - which occupies the main body of his pam phlet - its first appearance in the Biblical Repository, and my Reply therein published.
