men and interesting students of education in their methods. For my purpose is the education of those who mean to devote their lives to education. The student, who adds to a study of this volume the accounts of Rousseau, Pestalozzi and Froebel in Quick's Educational Biographies and some good exposition of Herbart, will have a very fair acquaintance with the main lines of educational opinion since the Renaissance. I would apologise for the large space I give to Locke, did I not think that his Thoughts read along with his Conduct of the Understanding is, spite of some obvious faults, the best treatise on education which has ever appeared with the (doubtful) exception of Quintilian. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGII, December 1902. S. S. L. NOTE. Four of the sixteen chapters of this volume have appeared in books now for some time out of print. |
