    and a variety of liquids for another . The fifth series is intended as a first exercise in composition ; observations and interrogations on familiar objects take piace , and information is communicated as before ; a written account is then required from the pupil : miscellaneous objects increasing in complexity are next presented ; the metals and earths follow , and the work concludes with similar exercises on the external senses .
