_Early Culture of the Imagination._--I have somewhere read, possibly in an
article of the _Quarterly Review_, the opinion very strikingly expressed,
and attributed to Mr. Lockhart, that children's imaginative faculty ought
to be more prominently cultivated than their reason; and, on this ground,
the reading of _Fairy Tales_, _The Arabian Nights_, &c. was recommended for
children. Will any one kindly refer me to this passage? And, as it is
wanted for an immediate purpose, an early insertion and reply to this query
will oblige me.
