Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Ecclesiastical Review, 1895, Vol. 13: A Monthly Publication for the Clery
And, as to the practical results, the President of Harvard has informed us, that no branch of instruction is taught now as it was thirty years ago. This is the prime feature, which strikes me at first Sight, in the recent portion of the pedagogical department; the literature is so very new. Far from having any connection with the old, it starts into existence with such abruptness as if a first principle of its being were to have nothing what ever to do with anything that went before. It does not join on with the old set at all. Whence it comes, (whether from a chasm of disagreement prepense with everything Catholic and Protestant, such as governed the world before, or from a private chaos of its own - a kind of pedagogical bewilder ment, ) I do not pause at the present moment to discuss. I merely note the gap between the present and the past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
