Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Education, Vol. 1: January-April, 1831
N ow, if we can devise any means for giving a greater unity to education in these islands; if we can only make all persons engaged in instruction better acquainted with one another; and if we can diffuse a fair and unbiassed criticism on establish ments for education, and on the systems and the books which constitute their real life and existence - we are doing a service, not only to our country, but to the whole world. They are the true friends to social order and rational freedom; they deserve an honourable mention and an honest fame, who labour to diffuse useful knowledge among all men, offering to each as lar e a share as his time, his circumstances, and his capacity wil allow him to acquire.
A Journal of Education will comprehend a greater variety of important subjects, and more topics of general interest, than those imagine who have not attempted an enumeration of them.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth historical overview of the education systems in place at England's Oxford and Cambridge Universities. It examines the development of these systems from their medieval origins to the present day, with particular attention to the impact of the Reformation and the Enlightenment. The author argues that while Oxford and Cambridge have long been at the forefront of English education, both universities have been slow to adapt to changing social and economic conditions. The book concludes with a series of recommendations for reform, designed to ensure that Oxford and Cambridge remain relevant to the needs of 21st-century students.
