About this title

Synopsis

This book is a collection of six lectures delivered in 1854 by the author, focusing primarily on his belief that education should not solely benefit the wealthy and middle classes, but should be extended to working class citizens as well. The author contends that all education is rooted in religious principles, whether Christian Civilization or the beliefs and values of the Greeks and Romans. He argues that neglecting the education of the lower classes not only harms them, but negatively impacts society as a whole. The author posits that the best education is one that provides academics and cultural enlightenment, while also promoting harmony and tranquility. This book offers a unique and compelling perspective on the history of education and the importance of continuing the expansion of access to quality education.
