Note 2 — Section 123. DR. GUTHRIE ON RAGGED SCHOOLS[1]. I.
Reading edition
This passage requires an altogether different construction. Say ‘The circumstances which led me (welche mich dahin führten) to interest myself for the establishment of schools for neglected children, are an example of (davon) how through Providence (durch die Vorsehung) the fate of a man (Mensch)—his course of life (S. 76, N. 22, B, 1) like (gleich, with dat.) that of a river—can be determined and affected (beeinflußt) by very trivial (geringfügig) circumstances’. For the position of the verbs read App. §§ 16-20.
