Thus, at first sight, they had many material advantagesamong their peers. In the ranks of the aristocracy there was often agreat passion for learning, and the mansions in which these familieslived contained libraries, technical equipment (microscopes andtelescopes) and collections from the world of nature. More modestprofessional households of the time were rich in books, whileactivities such as observing the stars, collecting plants etc.typically formed an integral part of the children‘s education. .To balance this it was the prevailing philosophy that boys couldlearn, in addition to basic subjects, mathematics, mechanics, physics,chemistry and classical languages, while girls were channelled into‘polite‘ subjects like music and needlework.
