Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What De Fellenberg Has Done for Education
The name of DE fellenberg is familiar to all the civilised nations of Europe and North America, and may now, be mentioned without offence. This ex pression implies that it once was otherwise. Yes; the age in which he has lived having been one of political storms, every name which was eminent enough to appear above the surface of the troubled waters was claimed or denounced by a party; none could escape. Even those who disclaimed all party, but who, from the highest motives, thought they were bound not to live for themselves alone, nor to hide their talent. In a napkin, but to labour, like the holy men of old, _ according to the light given them, for the permanent good of their fellow-crea tures, were exposed to a moral martyrdom, from the ignorance, misconception, and hostility of their contemporaries.
