Excerpt from The Orbis Pictus of John Amos Comenius
The cuts have been reproduced with great care by the photographic process. I thought best not to per mit them to be retouched, preferring occasional ih distinctness to modern tampering with the originals. That would make them less authentic.

Excerpt from The Orbis Pictus of John Amos Comenius: This Work Is, Indeed, the First Children's Picture Book; Encyclopædia, 9th Edition, Vi; 182
It may not be generally known that Comenius was once solicited to become President of Harvard College. The following is a quotation from Vol. II, p. 14, of Cotton Mather's Magnalia:
"That brave old man,Johannes Amos Commenius, the fame of whose worth has been Trumpetted as far as more than three languages whereof everyone is indebted unto his Janua could carry it, was indeed agreed withal, by one Mr. Winthrop in his travels through the Low Countries, to come over to New England, and illuminate their Colledge and Country, in the quality of a President, which was now become vacant. But the solicitations of the Swedish Ambassador diverting him another way, that incomparable Moravian became not an American."
This was on the resignation of President Dunster in 1654 - Note Of Prof.Payne, Compayre's History of Education, Boston, 1886, p. 125
