Excerpt from Lectures on Education
When the Managers of the Royal Institution decided, early in the present year, upon the delivery, after Easter, of a series of Lectures on Education, they appointed a sub-Committee to make the necessary arrangements.
In accordance with the usual practice of the Royal Institution, the number of the Lectures was unavoidably limited by the number of weeks between Easter and the termination of the session; and the subjects of the Lectures could not be altogether determined by the Committee, but in some instances were necessarily left to the choice of the Lecturers. Each Lecturer, also, was at perfect liberty to treat his subject in his own mode; and no communication upon the course to be pursued took place between the different Lecturers.
Hence arises the limitation of the subjects and the want of mutual connexion between the separate members of the group of discourses here presented to the reader.
