Public record of a pivotal 1865 inquiry into English public schools

This volume compiles the proceedings, minutes of evidence, and appendix from the Select Committee of the House of Lords, as it examined the Public Schools Bill.

It captures official debates, adjournments, and witness testimony from leading schools and figures of the era. The material centers on the committee’s work to review governance, education methods, and policy options affecting Harrow, Rugby, and other prominent foundations.

Readers will see how lawmakers and witnesses discuss the balance between classical education and modern subjects, board governance, and the practical needs of students amid 19th‑century reforms. The documents provide a detailed snapshot of parliamentary procedure and the debates that shaped education policy at the time.

Official proceedings and adjournments across multiple sessions in 1865
Testimony from headmasters and educators on curriculum and governance
Discussion of modern subjects, foundation access, and the role of tradesmen's sons

Ideal for readers of legal, educational, and parliamentary history who want a precise account of how a major reform bill was examined and argued in the Lords.
