Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Edward Bowen: A Memoir
This memoir of Edward Bowen is written to meet the needs of two classes of readers: the first, his old friends and pupils; the second, scientific educa tionists. It is for the sake of the first that I have dwelt, at what may seem to some rather dispropor tionate length, upon his work before 'youth had grown to man.' But I am confident that those who cared for him not as a leader of his profession but as one by whose side they 'trod the rough path of the world, ' and whom they loved and admired with a love and admiration that they have given to few others however near and dear to them, will wish to have these specimens of his earlier power and talent. AS regards the educationists, the memoir will, I hope, Show them a man pre-eminent among Public School Masters, even in a survey of the last hun dred years, who in some things differed widely from commonly received opinions, and entertained ideals which have yet to find their full expression in general practice. Edward Bowen's in?uence has been very great at Harrow, but it has yet to be fully felt through all the length and breadth of the scholastic world.
