Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Education: With a Visit to German Schools

The lectures on the History of Education contained in the volume now published include the third part of the course delivered by Mr. Payne as Professor of the Science and Art of Education at the College of Preceptors. The manuscript from which these lectures were given, though altered and partly re-written during successive years, is in parts very fragmentary, and was never prepared by the author in a form suitable for publication. The obvious omissions and breaks of continuity which are certain to be found in the manuscript of a discourse intended for oral delivery, would doubtless have been filled up at the time by extemporaneous additions, and by passages read from the authors spoken of.

Notwithstanding'these drawbacks, I have not thought it right to alter the text in any essential points, or to attempt to give it a completeness which could only have been given by some editor as familiar with the subject as the author.

The alterations have been confined to the insertion of words or paragraphs necessary to complete the sense, and of extracts which would probably have formed part of the discourse as actually delivered.
