Excerpt from Practical Observations Upon the Education of the People, Addressed to the Working Classes and Their Employers
Fourthly, The preparation of elementary works is not the only, nor, at first, is it the most valuable ser111ce that can be ren dered'towards economizing the time of the labouring classes. The institution of Lectures is, of all the helps that can be given, the most valuable, where circumstances permit that is, in towns of a certain size. Much may thus be taught, even without any other instruction; but, combined with reading, and subservient: to it, the effects of public lectures are great indeed, especially in the present deficiency of proper elementary works. The stu dents are enabled to read with advantage; things are explained 1 to them which no books sufficiently illustrate; aceessis afforded to teachers, who can remove the difficulties which occur perpet ually in the reading of uneducated persons; a word may often suffice to get rid of some obstacle which would have impeded the unassisted student's progress for days and then, whatever requires the performance of experiments to become intelligible, can only be learnt by the bulk of mankind at a lecture, inas much as the Wealthy alone can have such lessons in private, and none but men highly gifted can hope to master those branches of science without seeing the experimental illustrations.

Excerpt from Practical Observations Upon the Education of the People, Addressed to the Working Classes and Their Employers
As I have chiefly in deference to your opinion, sanctioned by that of our fellow-lubourers in the North, undertaken to make the following pages public at the present moment, I beg leave to inscribe them with your name.
You are aware that they contain a portion of a larger discourse, which more pressing but less agreeable pursuits have long prevented me from finishing, upon the important subject of Popular Education, in its three branches, Infant Schools, Elementary Schools (for reading and writing), and Adult Schools. It is only with the second of these branches that the Legislature can safely interfere. Any meddling on the part of Government with the first would be inexpedient; with the last, perilous to civil and religious liberty. In conformity with this opinion I have brought the question of Elementary Education repeatedly before Parliament, where the lukewarmness of many, and the honest and by me ever to be respected scruples of some, have hitherto much obstructed my design: the other two branches belong to the country at large. Having, in concert with those friends who hold the same doctrines, endeavoured to establish Infant Schools, it seems to follow from the same view of the subject, that I should lend any little help in my power towards fixing public attention upon the Education of Adults; by discussing the best means of aiding the people in using the knowledge gained at schools, for their moral and intellectual improvement.
A considerable portion of the Observations was inserted in the Edinburgh Review, together with a good deal of other matter, and with one or two statements in which I do not altogether concur.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book from the early 19th century concerns itself with improving the lives of the working class through education. The author firmly believes one cannot be too poor to gain at least an hour or two each day or every other day to dedicate to the cultivation of knowledge. This time can be spent learning to read or putting reading skills to use through books and newspapers that can be obtained for cheap. The author goes on to explain how employers can also help with this goal and further describes ways in which educational pursuits can be beneficial to all. This book is an important historical account of the educational landscape at the time while providing arguments and suggestions for the improvement of literacy among the working class.
