Report Upon, and Draught of a Code for the Support of Common Schools presents the early legal framework and moral case for universal schooling.

The volume combines legislative provisions with a passionate argument for education as the foundation of republic strength.

You’ll encounter the structure of funding, duties of officers, and procedures for establishing and maintaining common schools. The text covers oaths for officials, district tax administration, building and equipping schoolhouses, and annual reporting requirements. It also weaves a compelling defense of mind, liberty, and public education as essential to a just and prosperous society.

Legal and financial groundwork for common schools, including how funds are allocated and managed.
Duties of district trustees, inspectors, and commissioners, and how school taxes are collected and used.
Executive and moral arguments that tie education to republican government and social progress.
Appendix with county-by-county school data illustrating early 19th‑century school activity and funding.

Ideal for readers of education history, policy development, and Maryland history, this edition offers a window into the origins of organized schooling in practice and principle.
