Book Overview

""The British System of Education"" is a book written by Joseph Lancaster in 1812. It provides a comprehensive overview of the educational system in Britain at the time, with a particular focus on the improvements and innovations introduced by Lancaster himself. Lancaster was a renowned educator who developed a new method of teaching that emphasized the use of monitors, or older students who helped to instruct younger ones. This approach was designed to make education more accessible and affordable, particularly for children from lower-income families. In the book, Lancaster outlines the principles behind his system, as well as the practical steps involved in implementing it. He also discusses the challenges and criticisms he faced from traditional educators, as well as the successes he achieved in improving the education of thousands of children. Overall, ""The British System of Education"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the development of education in Britain during the early 19th century, and the role played by Joseph Lancaster in that process.To Which Is Added, A Report Of The Trustees Of The Lancaster School At Georgetown, Colorado.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
