Excerpt from The Educational Systems of Great Britain and Ireland For the sake Of clearness I have had to confine myself almost entirely to the central authorities which have controlled and the statutes which have regulated the development of our education. The very attempt, however, to describe our education as a set of systems at once draws attention to the defects with which it is most often reproached - its want of uniformity and its incompleteness. It has variety, it has elasticity, it has vigour; there have been great energy, great generosity, and much power of practical administration shown in its service: but these qualities have varied widely in their application to individual Circumstances, and a complete tribute to them would involve a description of almost every separate establish ment in the country. I have been unable to give any account of individual schools or institutions, and it was not until the region of higher educa tion was reached that any notice Of separate foundations became either feasible or desirable.
