Publisher's Synopsis
At the turn of the 19th century, the Lancasterian system of education was hailed as a revolutionary approach to teaching. This book provides an in-depth look at the establishment of Lancasterian schools in Philadelphia, from the initial interest in the system to its implementation in schools throughout the city. Drawing on primary sources, including personal diaries and correspondence, Charles Calvert Ellis provides a detailed account of the Lancasterian method, its successes and its challenges, and sheds light on a critical period in the history of American education.
