Originally published in 1938, this book presents a social history
of eighteenth-century elementary education. The main focus is on
the different reactions of philanthropists in England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales to the movement for establishing schools on a
religious basis for the children of the poor. Intended to draw
attention to an often marginalised area, the text provides a
detailed analysis of the ideologies behind charity schools and the
various difficulties they encountered. A detailed bibliography,
appendices and illustrative figures are also included. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in eighteenth-century
history and the role of charity schools in the development of
education.
