I'm halfway through 'The Improvement of the Mind' by Isaac Watts and I've learned plenty. Watts treats every matter pertinent to the cultivation of mind, and offers advice on almost any scholastic subject you can imagine: how to diligently peruse texts, what are the first steps to be taken when learning a language and how to conduct quodlibetal disputations. If you want to become more scholarly in your attitudes, then this is the book for you.
