Excerpt from Improvements in Education: As It Respects the Industrious Classes of the Community: Containing, Among Other Important Particulars, an Account of the Institution for the Education of One Thousand Poor Children, Borough Road, Southwark; And of the New System of Education on Which It
The system of education introduced by Joseph Lancaster into England, has excited considerable notice, and received an unusual share of public commendation. The volume, therefore, which he has presented to the public on the subject, might, perhaps, have been regarded as of sufficient importance to have merited a re-publication in this country, even though no additional motive for that measure existed.
The complete success of the experiment which has here been made of that system, and the interest which the public have evinced, by then frequent enquiries for his work,, seem to render the re-publication, if not absolutely expedient, peculiarly proper.
As the Society which has been established in New-York is materially connected with this subject, it is thought that a sketch of it may with advantage be given as an introduction to the book. Such a sketch may answer several useful purposes.
