Excerpt from Self-Formation: Or, the History of an Individual Mind: Intended as a Guide for the Intellect Through Difficulties to Success In the definition given by me above, I have been an ticipated by more than one writer. It has been Observed, repeatedly, that there are two kinds of education, one, wherein we are taught by those about us, and another, wherein we teach ourselves; that the former method is the more common, and the latter infinitely the more valuable and effective. This is admitted universally, and, to my judgment, it is indeed astonishing that we should have been so busy about the less worthy of these two subjects, while we have neglected almost, if not altogether, the far worthier one that the universal young mind should have been weighed down to the very dust by the multitude of institutional books, while the spirit of self-instruction is left to be stifled under the heap, or, at best, to find its own way up to the surface. One would suppose, from this neglect, that it is the easiest Of all possible uses, as easy as the exercise Of the senses, as natural as seeing or hearing; whereas, in plain truth, nothing is so dimcult. Self-instruction and thoughtful ness are nearly, if not entirely, convertible terms; an to think well and efl'ectually is to do more than one ma in a thousand is able to do. The art of thinking is th key of philosophy, and its mastery is nothing else the the perfection Of the intellect.
