Excerpt from State Intervention in English Education: A Short History From the Earliest Times Down to 1833

The collection of materials for a history of State-aided Education in England from the date of the first Government Grant in 1833 to the passing of the Elementary Education Act, 1870, showed that such a history would be, to a great extent, meaningless unless there were available for constant reference a work dealing with the earlier relationship of the State and Education in England. Strangely enough there appeared to be no satisfactory book of reference on this important subject, and it seemed, therefore, desirable to produce the simple record of historical facts contained in this volume.

It is certainly a matter for surprise that no historian has considered the history of Education in England a subject of sufficient importance to justify the prolonged research that such an undertaking, if adequately carried out, would involve. Had such a history been produced seventy years ago, England would have been spared some, at least, of her present educational troubles.
