The book provides guidance for object lessons (or object-teaching), rooted in Pestalozzian principles of education popularized in Britain by Elizabeth Mayo. The lessons would be most effectively implemented in combination with a cabinet of specimens containing the objects described; page [185] includes an advertisement for cabinets for sale from various merchants at London. An example of such a box is present in the collections of the Yale Center for British Art (see link herewith).
