Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Progress of Education, From the Earliest Times to the Present: Intended as a Manual for Teachers and Students
The preparation of this manual has been a work of severe and protracted toil; it would have been far easier to have made it much larger; and it might have suited a few of our readers better, had we given references to the authorities quoted, at the foot of each page but, mindful of our purpose, we have studied condensation, and, while verifying with the utmost care every reference, have deemed a bibliographical list of authorities, at the close of the work, sufficient, and more unpretending than a pompous array of foot-notes, which should refer to works, many of which not one reader in a thousand could consult.
