Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cyclopedia of Education: A Dictionary of Information for the Use of Teachers, School Officers, Parents, and Others The work here offered to the public is the first cyclopaedia of education in the English language, although the need of such a work has long been felt, Cyclopaedias, both general and special, are rapidly increasing in number, not only in countries in which the English language is spoken, but wherever, under the influence of advancing civilization, literature flourishes, and the cultivation of science and art has enlarged the boundaries of human knowledge. Information scattered through a multitude of volumes is usually inaccessible to those by whom it is most needed and, consequently, the most important results of study and research are often of no avail to those whose Special office it is to apply them to a practical purpose. Hence. The need of works that present in a condensed form, and so as readily to be referred to, all the import-ant facts in the various departments of human knowledge; and, consequently, we find that it is fast becoming the habit of the educated classes every - where to consult such works. In view of the large number of special cyclopaedias in other departments of knowledge, and more especially of the excellent cyclo paedias of education which Germany has possessed for many years, it is quite surprising that a branch of knowledge so extensively valued and studied as education, should have continued. In this country and in England, for so'long a time without its special cyclopaedia. Accordingly, the first announce ment of this work was, on all sides, greeted with the most earnest expressions of approbation and welcome. The value of a work of this kind must, of course, depend on the plan which forms its ground work, and the accuracy and fullness with which the plan is carried out. To both of these points the editors have given their undeviating attention, striving to leave nothing to be desired in either respect.
