Joachim Campe's famous 'Knowledge of the Soul for little children", intended as a sort of general introductory teaching of religion and morals. As the author explains in his extensive preface, he fully agrees with the modern pedagogical principle that children of tender age should not be burdened with heavy subjects as religion, morals, history etc., but that they should mainly learn by experience and examples, a view introduced by Rousseau."
