Webb claims his use of the "Sentence method" is closest to the "Method of Nature" (the book's motto is: "When Nature teaches, it is sport to learn"). Children are to "look through the words recognized by the eye, to the thought only," with the words as "simply servants to unload the mind of its ideas
