- Iaasc Watts was an invalid schoolmaster who wrote over 500 hymns. He acquired his gift of poetry from his father, a Southhampton schoolmaster. He became a tutor when he grew up, and then a minister, and received the degree of doctor of divinity from a Scottish university. He was taken ill when thirty-eight years old, and went for a rest at the home of Sir Thomas Abney at Theobalds, which he never left till he died, thirty-six years later. --- Adapted from The Writers of the Hymns, The Book of Knowledge (1912) Vol. VII, page 1998.

From chapter 1 he says, “Presume not too much upon a bright genius, a ready wit, and good parts; for this without labor and study will never make a man of knowledge.” He goes on to say that a large quantity of reading and strong memory do not make one wise. He counsels students to not lean on their own wisdom, but to trust in God and ask him for guidance in all things (Prov. 3:5, 7). It is his providence that can direct a thought or conversation to be more useful than a month’s solitary study. Therefore, a man ought to “let industry and devotion join together.” In chapter 4, he says, “a man may be eating all day, and for want of digestion is never nourished, so these endless readers may cram themselves in vain with intellectual food, and without real improvement of their minds, for want of digesting it by proper reflections.”
After Watts lists out some general rules in chapter 1, he plunges into the real matter of his writing. He talks on the methods of improving the mind (observation, reading, lectures, conversation and study), then moves on to topics like reading and judging books, improvement by conversation, debating, meditation, fixing the attention, improving the memory, determining whether a topic is worth pursuing, benefits of poetry and the natural sciences. Part 2 dives into how to best instruct others in the truth.
It is a unique work and I’ve never read anything quite like it. Sometimes, it can feel a bit tedious due to the older style language, but I found it both enjoyable and profitable overall. It also happens to be available for free on the world wide web!… (mais)
