The Power Of Education. (Concluding Lett...
THE POWER OF EDUCATION . ( CONCLUDING LETTER . ) London , January 31 , 1853 . g 1 B i have now shown that the knowledge by which alone we can be enabled to educate with the certainty and Success of a scientific process , is that of the effects of internal and external influences in ruling the action and development of the propensities and energies of human nature ; and that of this knowledge , little , if any thing , can be accurately known , so long as man is supposed , to form his own character , and to think , feel , will , and act by a free will . I have endeavoured to point out in previous letters some of the unhappy effects produced by this supposition , and the bighly r beneficial results to be produced by the knowledge referred to ; the supposition exercising a most powerful influence as an . internal cause to produce unfavourable development , while the knowledge will not only remove this ^ causeof evil * h * ut at the same time will itself be a most powerful internal cause of a more beneficial development . Man is impelled to action by the desire for happiness—the desire to obtain agreeable , and to remove
or prevent disagreeable , sensations . This self-regarding instinct in its ' elf is perfectly compatible with the social instinct , or the desire for the happiness of others ; and when rightly developed ^ and combined with this latter instinct duly developed also , it is in no way unfavourable to the unity and happiness of societies . Indeed , it is essential to this union and happiness , for the desire of others for our happiness could not be gratified if we had no desire for our own happiness , nor our desire for their happiness if they had no care for their own . And these instincts
unitedly , when they shall be rightly developed" m all , through the influence of beneficial , internal , and external causes , will perform the same office for the united race or family of man , that is performed in the individual by the desire for the health , freedom from pain , and agreeable state and due exercise of every part of his own organism ; which desire may be regarded as the benevolence of each organ towards all the others , and that of all the organs towards each of them .
But when the self-regarding instinct is unduly developed , or when it is combined with indifference to the happiness of others , or , still more , with antagonism to their happiness , it then becomes a powerful cause of disunion in societies . And such must continue to be the general development of the human character , in various degrees , so long as the free-will supposition and ignorance of the effects of internal and external causes upon man shall exist , and shall produce their natural effects .
The operation of the free-will supposition to promote the formation of selfish or unsocial feelings , and of the tendency to reciprocate such feelings , and at the same time to counteract the due exercise and develop ment of the social instinct , and thus to produce the permanent formation of a selfish character , is as follows . This supposition naturally gives rise to the idea that it is right and just to blame and to retaliate . Hence the formation of retaliativo and vindictive toolings . Hence , again , undue development of com-DUtlvenesa . and of the fielf-reirarflinp inutinot .
And when , to these internal causes of selfishness , arc added the constant external excitements to the m < " » feBtation of a similar tendency in others , and the ficiflahl y-organized arrangementrf ^ nd-lnstitutions of society , afdarful combination of internal and external causes , to p roduce the morbid development of the sou-regarded instincts , and to counteract the duo aevolopment of the social instinct , is thus produceda co mbination of causes which is thus found to arise , not from the unchangeable nature of man , but from an error which it will bo easy to obviate , and which p necessarily bo permanently excluded from the numan intellect durmg all future generations , whenover society ehaU have attained the wisdom whioh
will remove it from their educational and other social proceedings . . On the other hand , the natural effect , in education , of the knowledge that man is in every respect the creature of causation , and that , therefore , blame and retaliative feelings and treatment axe irrational and unjust , and that kind feelings are alone justifiable even towards the , worst of- created beings—for the worst ate the most unfortunate and the most injured—is to check the undue / excitement of the combative and self-regarding instincts , and to release the social instinct and promote its due exercise and development . In short , the
effect of this knowledge as an educational influence is to tend very powerfully to produce a rational , considerate , and kind character , instead of the irrational , inconsiderate , and unkind character , which , varying only in degree , according to the diversities of internal and external causes , is the necessary result of education under the influence of the free-will supposition . And it is obvious that when , to these beneficial internal causes shall be added the constant external excitement of a similar tendency , which will exist around all when the general character of society shall have been so formed as to be rational , considerate , and benevolent in all , and when the arrangements
and institutions of society shall be in harmony with this character—a mostpowerful combination of causes to prevent the undue development of the self-regarding instinct and to promote the full development of the social instinct in all , will be produced . And this combination of external and internal influences will naturally exist universally when society shall be no longer in ignorance of the effects of internal and external causes upon man ; and when sufficient time shall have elapsed for the reformation of the malformed characters which have been produced by past influences , or for the removal , by the inevitable process Of natural disease , of those whose mal-formation
is incurable . Thus we are enabled , by the knowledge of the effects of internal and external causes upon man , to discover that it has been owing entirely to the supposition that man forms his character , & c , of himself , and that , therefore , it is just to blamerand to punish Vindictively ; that the injunction to *• love one another "has hitherto been to so very great an extent in operation ; and that , in defiance of all religious exhortations , the general practice of society has been so universally , "in so-called Christian countries nations
scarcely if at all less than in more barbarous , the very opposite of * . ' doing to others in all things as we would have others to do to us . " And , on the other hand , by the attainment of this knowledge , we are placed in possession of the primary cause or means , and are enabled to know and to control the other means also , which will naturally produce the opposite results—will make all men truly to " love one another , " and even to love or wish well to " their enemies , " so long as any who have been so malformed as to be enemies to their fellow-man shall remain upon the earth . Henry Tkavis .

[ Dr . Teodor ' s letter on ' « Brute Force Romanism ' relates to a case which we cannot notice unless it ap ~ pears in the police reports . If Octavian had given his name , his letter on the " Policy of Association" might have appeared . If he reappears to controvert any argument of W . J . Linton , he ought to say where he finds it ; how else can the reader test the point raised ? Dr . Glover ' s letter we cannot consider of sufficient interest to warrant insertion . The lettei on " Archbishop Whately and the Port Royal Logic" we shall give in our next . ]

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Moiining . Uncertainty aa to the course of home politics , and distrust of continental , continue to exercise an unfavourable influence upon business in general . In the corn trade there has been less business , but prices have , on the whole , been steady . Colonial produce is dull of sale ; prices of the chief articles are again drooping , and the general feeling in the market is less hopeful . Consols have , as usual at such a period , showed much sensitiveneBS , but the operations in them have not been extensive or of a decided character . The opening price on Monday was 96 1 ft ; on Wednesday they touched 96 ft , but vesterday again fell to 96 g 4 , the closing price . The fluctuations during th * week ,-it will be seen , were from 901 to 968 ; of Bank Stock wore from 2164 to 217 ; am } of Exchequer Bills , from . 69 to 63 premium , the closing price being 59 s . to 62 s . ' . . .. ¦¦¦ In Foreign Stocks the transactions have not beerf important . The bargains in the official list yesterday comprised : —Ecuador Bonds at 4 ; Grenada , 17 ; . Deferred , 5 i 3 ; Mexican , for the Account , 32 H J Russian Bonds , Five per Cents ., 114 '; Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., IOOjJ , Sardinian Bonds , 87 * 4 J Spanish Five per Cents ., 2 ^ ; Passive , 5 ; Three per Cents ., 40 * ; New 'Ihree per Gents ., deferred , 1781 ; Venezuela Bonda , Threc-and-n-Quarter per Cents ., 30 . , , . The market for Railway Shares haa been steady , but without much activity .
