Times.—“Dr. Davidson, 'by tracing the whole history of Greek Education up to Aristotle and down from Aristotle, to show the past which conditioned his theories, and the future which was conditioned by them,’ produces a very readable sketch of a very interesting subject.”

Saturday Review.—“It is well written and interesting, and, while making no vain display of learning, shows a thorough acquaintance with its subject.”

Saturday Review.—“This volume will probably be welcomed by others besides those specially interested in the theories and methods of education. Written by a member of the Jesuit Society, it comes to us with authority, and presents a complete and well-arranged survey of the work.... If a schoolmaster would learn how the education of the young can be carried on so as to confer real dignity on those engaged in it, we recommend him to read Mr. Hughes’s book, and ponder not merely the wisdom contained in the Ratio, but on the self-sacrifice it requires from the Jesuit teacher.”

Times.—“Professor West’s monograph is a valuable contribution, based upon original and independent study, to our knowledge of an obscure but important period in the history of European learning and education.”

Pall Mall Gazette.—“The gratitude of all who have to do with the teaching of the young is due to Mr. Courthope Bowen for his account of Froebel’s life and the development of his system of teaching. This book repays careful reading, and we believe that no one having to do with the education of children can but be benefited by its perusal.”

Guardian.—“It is the most satisfactory account of the great educator in any language.”

Pall Mall Gazette.—“M. Compayré gives an admirable description of the origin and early development of the universities: of their organisation and method of graduation, of the course of study in the different faculties, and of the manners of students and masters.”

Standard.—“M. Compayré does justice to this magnetic knight-errant of philosophy, who never spared himself either in the quest or exposition of knowledge, and he also describes the rise of the universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford, and Salamanca.”

Guardian.—“Dr. de Garmo has written his book in an attractive style, and his treatise is a useful contribution to the literature of his subject.”

Academy.—“Dr. de Garmo has done real service to education in writing this book, and he deserves warm thanks for supplying the English reader with a clear and attractive account of Herbart.”

Educational Times.—“A book written with all a craftsman’s skill, a book in which the conspicuous educational wants of this century are described with that warmth of soul, and that clear-headedness as to the issues involved, which we always look for in Sir Joshua Fitch, and never look for in vain. We feel that a real service has been done to educational politics; for whosoever will read it—teacher or layman—will be taken to a plane of thought which is above parties.”
