This study has grown out of an interest in French education and cul
ture that dates from fondly remembered student days in France.
Specifically, it is an attempt to explain the educational thought
of Claude Fleury, a literate, responsible homme de leUres who
analyzed the historical origins of public education as it existed
in seventeenth-cen tury France and, on that basis, proposed what he
considered to be a more generally useful program of studies.
Generous space has been devoted to historical, social, and
pedagogical background in an effort to place Fleury's thought in
its proper cultural context; namely, that of the decline of the
Classical Age and the dawn of the Age of Reason. This background
material represents also an attempt to explain, at times in detail,
the origin of Fleury's Traite du Choix et de la Methode des Etudes
and his rise to scholarly and pedagogical prominence at court. It
is possible that Fleury's thought, while of most immediate interest
to students of seventeenth-century cultural history, will be of
interest also to a more general audience. In particular, those
charged with providing education that must respond to the ever
increasing practical needs of society and at the same time give to
contemporary man a of his cultural heritage may find in Fleury's
thought some useful sense historical perspective. It is a pleasure
to acknowledge that this study would not have been possible without
the encouragement and guidance of Dr. William W."
