''The Claims of Classical Culture upon the Attention of American Teachers and American Schools: A Lecture'' is a book written by Elbridge Smith and published in 1855. The book is a lecture that discusses the importance of classical culture in American education. Smith argues that the study of classical languages and literature is essential for a well-rounded education and that American schools should prioritize the teaching of Latin and Greek. He also discusses the ways in which classical culture has influenced American society and argues that a knowledge of this culture is necessary for understanding the roots of American civilization. The book is a historical artifact that provides insight into the educational debates of the mid-19th century and the role of classical education in American culture.Delivered Before The American Institute Of Instruction, At Providence, Rhode Island, August 9, 1854.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
