Higher Schools & Universities in Germany …

ARNOLD, Matthew.

Verlag: London Macmillan and Co., 1882

Beschreibung

Second edition, first published in 1874 (itself based on the section on Germany in Arnold s earlier Schools and Universities on the Continent, 1868). The history of education on the Continent is now regarded in this country with a great and increasing interest, and I republish, therefore, my account of the schools and universities of Germany … There is an increasing demand everywhere for modern or real studies, as they are called, and the school-course everywhere is being modified in compliance with this demand. But the need of those studies had been recognised by the organisers of German education before there arose a popular cry for them; and now that the popular cry has arisen, it is in Germany that this cry is least likely, perhaps, to be suffered to destroy the true balance of education (Preface). Smart 57. 8vo (190 × 125 mm), pp. xxvii, [1], 245, [3]; with a 40-page publisher s catalogue (dated December 1882) at the end; a little spotted towards the beginning, blue pencil ownership inscription of Herbert Beatty (dated 1883), with some underling and side-ruling throughout; uncut in the original publisher s cloth, slightly skewed; pencil note on the preceding editions at the head of p. [v]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1594994259945
