A study of Robert Lowe (1811-1892), a philosophical radical in the
utilitarian tradition, educationalist and politician. He held a
number of government positions, and as vice-president of the
Committee of Council on Education (1859-1864) he introduced the
controversial 'payment by results' scheme, 'results' being measured
by examinations and constituting the pre-condition for the payment
of State grants. Mr Sylvester assesses Lowe's career and political
importance, and argues for a reconsideration of his somewhat
reactionary reputation.
