A new series, by writers of wide educational experience, on the leading movers in educational thought from the earliest time to the present day, will be issued under the general title of "The Great Educators."

Much has been written of the great philosophical systems, and of the lives of great thinkers and founders of schools of philosophical speculation, yet nothing has so far been done to give a picture of what is at least of equal importance, the educational effects of these systems in the special periodical ethics of the world. It is not surprising that these ethics, as applied to education, should change with religions, with philosophical systems, even with periodical revolutions, and historical development. But it is surprising that no one has thought the subject sufficiently important to fix from time to time the point of view obtaining as to these educational ethics.

It is now proposed, in a limited number of volumes, devoted more to the systems and to the teachings of the greatest educators of the world than to their lives, to show the different points of view, from which races and times and climatic influences have determined the education of mankind. The volumes will therefore range from Aristotle to Dr. Arnold of Rugby.

Each subject will form a complete volume of about 300 pages, crown 8vo, 5s.
