SELECTIONS FROM PRESS OPINIONS;
" A perusal of Mr. W. Carew Hazlitt's book is calculated to make both parents and boys thankful that
they live in an age of comparative enlightenment. The work does not profess to be an exhaustive one, the
object being 'to trace the sources and rise of our educational system, and to present a general view of the
principles on which the groundwork of this system was laid.' In pursuing this plan the writer has succeeded
in producing a book, which, though dealing with what some readers may consider rather a dry
subject, is full of curious and interesting information, judiciously arranged and pleasantly conveyed."
Morning'
" Post.
This book contains a great deal of very curious information. After an introductory chapter on the
system of teaching in the good old times when holidays were unknown and stick ointment laid the basis of
all culture, an account is given of the various vocabularies, glossaries, and colloquies in use in mediaeval
times. Some interesting and amusing details are also given of sixteenth century schoolbooks, and Mr.
Hazlitt sketches the scholastic work done by Erasmus, Colet, Linacre, Lily, Ruddiman, and others, and
us an insight into the methods followed in such schools as St. Paul's and the Merchant Taylors'
fives nstitution. . . . One of the most interesting chapters in the volume is that on female education."
Glasgow Herald.
". . . Mr. Hazlitt knows his subject, and he also knows how to write. No small praise." St.
Stephens Review.
"... Some of Mr. Hazlitt's pages are occupied with the humorous side of school life ; and as he tells
a story well, these portions of the book come upon one with
" singular pleasure." Antiquary.
Mr. Hazlitt has evidently a favourite speciality in school-books. He has collected them, we should
judge, with a good deal of zeal, and has acquired a really considerable amount of knowledge about them,"
etc. Spectator.
FROM THE PREFACE:
" My main object has been to trace the sources and rise of our educational system, and to present a
general view of the principles on which the groundwork of this system was laid. So far as I am capable of
judging, the narrative will be found to embody a good deal that is new and a good deal that ought to be
inttra'ting.
"The bias of the volume is literary, not bibliographical ; but its production has involved a very considerable
amount of research, not only among books which proved serviceable, but among those which
yielded me no contribution to my object."

"This is a well-written attack on a few of the irrational doctrines, folly, and trumpery, that eo bv the
name of religion." Christian
" Life.
Mr. Hazlitt sees that to overthrow the superstition which selects and endows incompetence, there must
be a general lift in the quality and efficiency of education all round ;
and he sketches a plan or curriculum
which does credit to his breadth of view."
" National Reformer.
Mr. Hazlitt is an original thinker. On the whole, he expresses himself moderately, temperately, and
without needless offence. Those whose views Mr. Hazlitt voices are a growing number, and will read his
little book with sympathy." Binning/taut Daily Post.
