Description

Observations on the Principles and Methods of Infant Instruction was the first standalone work published by A.B. Alcott.

The essay was issued in the form of a pamphlet in 1830 when Alcott was teaching in Boston, Massachusetts.

You can see in this screenshot of the publication that he is credited as A.B. Alcott "teacher of an elementary school, Boston."

After teaching at various schools for a decade, Alcott would eventually open the Temple School in Boston in 1834.

Alcott encouraged open dialogue with his students. Many of the conversations, lectures, and class session notes from Temple School were put into a publication titled Conversations With Children on the Gospels in 1836.
