PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION.

Translated from

the French of Madame NECKER DE SAUSSURE, by MISS HOLLAND. 2 vols. foolscap, 12s. cloth lettered.

"The authoress comes boldly forward as an educational reformer to advocate the claims of early and progressive education on Christian principles; and she expounds her views with an acuteness and a cogency of argument, and inculcates them with an earnestness and vigour, and withal a graceful ease and familiarity of style, which carries the convictions and sympathies of her readers irresistibly along with her, and cannot fail to produce a powerful impression upon the public mind. It is a remarkable work, both as regards its intellectual and moral qualities, and is calculated to serve important purposes in the course of education in this country as well as in France. To teachers and parents, and above all to mothers, we can cordially recommend it, as affording an impressive estimate of the solemn responsibility they incur in the education of the young, and containing mang excellent rules for their guidance in the discharge of their important duties. The editor has written primarily for the benefit of her own sex, but her principles are of universal application."-Scottish Guardian.
