Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Classical Scholarship and Classical Learning: Considered With Especial Reference to Competitive Tests and University Teaching; A Practical Essay on Liberal Education Very few words will suffice by way of Preface to the following pages. Although this Essay is inconsiderable in extent, and intentionally written in a familiar and informal style, it contains the results of no slight experience and reflexion on the subjects of which it treats. Indeed, I have had many opportunities of discussing these matters before now, and I have often had to repeat in the present Treatise the thoughts, sometimes the very words, which I have used in fugitive publications or in public speeches and lectures. But the confidence, with which I bring forward this advocacy of the old basis of liberal education, does not spring merely from the maturity of my own convictions. I know also that most of those, who have paid adequate attention to the questions mooted by me, take the same view, either wholly or in part, and I have often, for obvious reasons, quoted passages from the writings of others, instead of endeavouring to enforce the same opinions by words of my own. One of my chief objects has been to correct prevalent, especially recent, exaggerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
