Book Overview

Industrial Instruction on the Continent: Being the Introductory Lecture of the Session, 1852-53 is a book written by Lyon Playfair and published in 1852. The book is a lecture given by Playfair, a Scottish chemist and politician, at the Royal Institution in Manchester, England. The lecture discusses the state of industrial education on the continent of Europe, focusing on Germany, France, and Switzerland. Playfair argues that these countries have made significant progress in providing practical and scientific education to their workforce, which has led to greater efficiency and productivity in their industries. He contrasts this with the situation in England, where he believes that the lack of industrial education is holding back progress and limiting the potential of the nation's workforce. The book provides a detailed analysis of the different approaches to industrial education on the continent, including the use of technical schools, apprenticeships, and vocational training. It also includes recommendations for how England can learn from these models and improve its own system of industrial education. Overall, Industrial Instruction on the Continent is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of industrial education and the development of industry in Europe during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
