      THE POWER OF EDUCATION . ( concluding letter . ) London , January 31 , 1853 . Sjb , — I have now shown that the knowledge by arhich alone we can be enabled to educate with the ertainty and success of a scientific process , is that of he effects of internal and external influences in ruling He action and development of the propensities and iuergies of human nature ; and that of this knowledge , itfle . if anv thing , can be accurately known , so long

      is man is supposed to form his own character , and to hink , feel , will , and act by a free will . I have endeavoured to point out in previous letters ome of the unhappy effects produced by this supposiion , and the highly beneficial results to be produced w the knowledge referred to ; the , supposition ixercising a most powerful influence as an internal ause to produce unfavourable development while the nowledge will not only remove this cause of evit , lutatthe same time will itself be a most powerful ttternal ^ ause of a more beneficial development .

      Man is impelled to action by the desire for happiless—the desire to obtain agreeable , and to remove r prevent disagreeable , sensations ., This self-regardng instinct in itself is perfectly compatible with the ocial instinct , or the desire for the happiness of thers ; and when rightly developed , and combined rith this latter instinct duly developed also , i t is in , o way unfavourable to the unity and happiness of Dcieties . Indeed , it is essential to this union and appiness , for the desire of others for our happiness ould not be gratified if we had no desire for our own appiness , nor our desire for their happiness if they ad no care for their own . And these instincts

      pritedly , when they shall be rightly developed in all , ftrough the influence of beneficial , internal , and ixternal causes , will perform the same office for the inited race or family of man , that is performed in the ndividual by the desire for the health , freedom from tain , and agreeable state and due exercise of every art of his own organism ; which desire may be Bgarded as the benevolence of each organ towards lithe others , and that of all the organs towards each f them .

      But when the self-regarding instinct is unduly eveloped , or when it is combined with indifference > the happiness of others , or , still more , with antaomsm to their happiness , it then becomes a powerful » use of disunion in societies . And such must connue to be the general development of the human liaracter , in various degrees , so long as the free-will ^ position and ignorance of the effect * of internal na external causes unon man shall exist , and shall

      oduco their natural effects . The operation of the free-will supposition to proote tno formation of selfish or unsocial feelings , and tne tendency to reciprocate such feelings , and at e same time to counteract the due exercise and ivelopment of the social instinct , and thus to proico the permanent formation of a selfish character , as follo ws . lhis BUnnnnitinn nn » .,- „!! .. _ _ s __ »„ * u : j ~« . " ° PpoBition naturallgives rise to the idea

      _ n ... y ! n * l ngllt and J UBtto blame and to retaliate . « nco the formation of rotaliative and vindictivo o ; gs . -Hence , again , undue development of com-A n ° i u' of the self-regarding instinct . p n 11 i *!' thc 8 e i nternal causes of selfishness , anifn + ?• ° cons tant external excitements to the JflXi n Qf a 8 imi 1 ^ tendenoy in others , and the maiuy . orgamzed arrangements and institutions of nin ' alcarful combination of internal and external '"» ub , tq produce the morbid dflvnlonm « nt of thn

      'C « d instincts , and to counteract tlie duo inS ? Ol ? t () f the Booial instinct , is thus produced—Bo mbinanon of causes which in thus found to arise , irom the unchangeable naturo of man , but from 11 t , whloh { t wi" b <> easy to obviate , and which L ? T , rilv be permanently excluded from the or ^ ll 6 ct dwlhg , all future generations , when-Bowoty shall have attained the wisdom whioti

      will remove it from their educational and other social proceedings . " " , On the other hand , the natural effect , in education , of the knowledge that man i « in every respect the creature of causation , and that , therefore , blame and retaliative feelings and treatment are irrational and unjust , and that kind feelings are alone justifiable even towards the worst of created beings ' r-for the worst are 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 rati onal , 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 w ill exist around all when the general character of society shall have been so formed as to be rational , considerate , and benevolent in a ll , and when the arrangements

      and institutions of society shall be in harmony with this character—a most powerful 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 natura l 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 blame and 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 scarcely if at all less than in more barbarous nations ,

      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 pl aced 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 .

      [ Dr . Teodor ' a letter on " Brute Force Romanism " relates to a case which we cannot notice unless it appears 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 .
