Excerpt from The Education of the People, a Practical Treatise on the Means of Extending Its Sphere Improving Its Character: With a Preliminary Dissertation on Some Points Connected With the Present Position of Education in This Country
The first edition of the following Treatise was published in 1843; the second has recently reached this country. M. Willm, in a preliminary note, gives the following account of its success.
"The work, under its first form, has obtained a success which the Author did not venture to hope for; it was distinguished by the French Academy as "a useful work of the first order," in 1843; and, in a deliberation of 16th January 1844, the Royal Council of Public Instruction declared it worthy of being lodged in all the libraries of Primary Normal Schools, and of Superior Primary Schools. This double honour lays on the Author the duty of a lively gratitude, especially towards the illustrious perpetual Secretary of the Academy, (M. Villemain,) who gave so kind an account of his Essay: at the same time, the high approbation it has received from the University Authorities, has induced him to reproduce it almost exactly as it was at first.
