Maria Edgeworth, 1767-1849, was well placed to write this series of essays on education with her father Richard Lovell Edgeworth. Richard was father to twenty two children with four different wives with Maria, the second child by his first wife, acting as teacher to the chaotic classroom that was the Edgeworth household. She wrote and had published the first volume of the Parents Assistant in 1796 followed by Practical Education in 1798, a comprehensive treatise on the education of children in all subjects. It was a highly influential book and, according to Muirhead in The English at School, 'the most important work on general pedagogy to appear in this country between Locke's Thoughts and Herbert Spencer's Essay in 1861'.
