The Infant System

• Author: Wilderspin Samuel
• Genre: Pregnancy & Childbirth

The book from Samuel Wilderspin, an English educationist known for his pioneering work on infant schools. His work provided the model for infant schools in Europe and North America. Wilderspin’s system was aimed to develop the infant mind and moral character - intellectual and moral powers of children from one to seven years old. The author says in the Preface: Upwards of twenty-five thousand children have been now under my own care, in various parts of the United Kingdom, whose age has not exceeded six years; myself, my daughters, and my agents, have organized many score of schools, and thus I have had opportunities of studying the infant mind and heart, such as none of my contemporaries have ever possessed.
