Excerpt from Dissenting Academies in England: Their Rise and Progress and Their Place Among the Educational Systems of the Country
It is difficult to understand why the contribution made to Education by Puritanism and Dissent has not yet been fully investigated. The subject is a vast one and it was with the hope of touching upon the fringe of it that a few years ago I devoted my leisure time to making an inquiry into the part played by the Dissenting Academies. No one can realize more clearly than I how totally inadequate is the account here given; if it serve to show that there exists a field worthy of research the labour will be amply repaid.
I should like to acknowledge my indebtedness to Sir Alfred Dale and Professor Campagnac for valuable help and encouragement in my work, and to Dr Selbie for kindness in seeing it through the press.
