Excerpt from An Address: Delivered Before the Rhode Island Historical Society, on the Evening of February Nineteenth, 1851
All along the belt of land adjoining the west side of the Bay, the country, generally productive, was owned in large planta tions by wealthy proprietors, who resided on and cultivated their land. They had the cultivation which would naturally result from a life of leisure, from intercourse with each other, and with the best informed men of the Colony, and from the pos session of private libraries, for that day, large and extensive. But any common system of education they could not have, from their very situation and distance from each other.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a detailed history of education within the state of Rhode Island. The author begins by comparing the unique settlement of the state and its effects on its educational development and how it differed from other states founded around the same time. Then the author addresses the circumstances that impacted the absence of educational opportunities for the people of the state, such as religious hostility toward education and the effect of slavery on education. The author also includes the political instability of the state, due to border disputes, and how it contributed to the delay of establishing an education system. Furthermore, the author goes into detail about the transformative effects of the Revolutionary War on Rhode Island's economy and how that economy contributed to the educational advancement of the state. An examination of the history of education in other states is also incorporated into the author's arguments about where and how Rhode Island's education fell behind or surpassed other surrounding states in its region. The author provides insightful commentary on how the educational history of the state should inform the future of education and social equality in the state.
