This article critically appraises the book "Louis Agassiz As a Teacher," by Lane Cooper. When Agassiz was asked what he regarded as his greatest work, he replied: "I have taught men to observe," and the compiler of this admirable little volume is convinced that the methods of Agassiz in the natural sciences should be applied to the humanities. "It is simply a fact," he says, "that, reduced to its simplest terms, there is but a single method of investigating the objects of natural science and the productions of human genius.
