Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Case of the Manchester Educationists, Vol. 2 The present pamphlet connects itself, both by its title and its substance, with one which appeared in the autumn of 1852, "The Case of the Manchester Educationists." This was a review of the evidence taken before a Committee of the House of Commons in relation to the state of education in Manchester and Salford in the session of that year, and the pamphlet now in the reader´s hands is a review of the evidence taken by the same Committee as re-appointed in the session of 1853, to prosecute to the end an inquiry which had been left incomplete The order for the re-appointment of the Committee was made on the 17th of February, and the nomination of its members took place on the 25th of the same month. I The constitution of the committee was considerably affected by the political changes which had taken place in the interval between its first and second session. One of its original number, Mr. Heald, had no seat in the new parliament, while four others - Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Bankes. and Mr. Monsell - were draughted off to situations more or less important in the new government, and the Committee thus lost some valuable members. Its leading men, however, still remained, and some care was taken to preserve, as nearly as might be, the representative position of the several parties to the inquiry by introducing the following gentlemen, Sir George Grey, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Bowyer, and Mr. Christopher. Strenuous efforts were made on the part of the voluntary educationists to obtain the nomination of Mr. Hadfield, whose local knowledge derived from a long residence in Manchester eminently qualified him to take a part in the proceedings; but, owing to an objection somewhat tenaciously offered by Lord John Russell, whose position as Leader of the House of Commons gave to his feeling on such a matter something like a decisive weight, without success. The Committee commenced their labours on the 7th of March, but the inquiry in their hands was not conducted with spirit.
