Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Comenius and the Beginnings of Educational Reform
In the exposition of the writings of Comenius, the author has made liberal use of English and German translations from Latin and Czech originals. In the case of the Great didactic, the scholarly translation by Mr. Keatinge has, in the main, been followed. Free translations of portions of this work had been made by the author before the appearance of Mr. Keat inge's book; and in some instances these have been retained. As regards the account of Comenius' views on the earliest education of the child, the author's edition of the School of infancy has been followed; and in the discussion of reforms in language teaching, he is indebted to Mr. Bardeen's edition of the Orbis pictus, and to Dr. William T. Harris for the use of the handsome Elzevir edition of the Janna, which is the property of the Bureau of Education.
