Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Social Condition and Education of the People in England and Europe, Shewing the Results of the Primary Schools, and of the Division of Landed Property, in Foreign Countries, Vol. 2 of 2
I purpose now to give a simple statement of the really wonderful efforts which Germany, Austria, Switzer land, France, Holland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are making to educate their people. Whether the methods, by which any of these different countries are carrying out their great design, are in any way applica ble to this country or not, I shall not stop to consider, my desire being merely to show how different coun tries, - with different degrees of political freedom, with different political constitutions, whose people profess different religions tenets, where Protestants of different sects, Roman Catholics, and Jews are mingled up in every kind of proportion, have all managed to over come difficulties precisely similar to those, which stand.
