Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks Occasioned by the Present Crusade Against the Educational Plans of the Committee of Council on Education
How far such petitions would express the sense Of the parish every one must judge for himself; but from the number presented by the Bishop of Chichester on the day in question, one would suppose that some such plan had been generally adopted. This is not a fair way of proceeding, nor is it one calculated to get an honest Opinion either from clergy or laity, and shows that, in this movement against the Committee of Council, there is a zeal, from whatever cause, which leads men to adopt practices that, in moments of clearer judgment, they would not approve of, and which have more the character of an electioneering contest and chartist petitioning, than that of the calm consideration of such a question, as the education of the labouring classes.
The Report of the sub-committee on education, of the London Union on church matters, professes to be a faithful summary, not only of the management clause controversy, but of the general question at issue between the Church of England, and the Committee of Council on Education.
