Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address on University Progress: Delivered Before the National Teachers' Association, at Trenton, N. J., August 20, 1869
The first universities (proper) had their origin, as nearly as can be determined, in the latter part of the eleventh and the early part of the twelfth centuries; from which time forward for three hundred years the number multiplied, first slowly, and then rapidly, until, ere the end of the sixteenth century, a very large proportion of those now in existence, together with many that have not survived, were established.
