Chrestomathia
Bentham, Jeremy, 1748-1832
"Bentham's main work on education. It was written in order to set out the curriculum and methods to be taught at a new secondary day school for the children of the 'middling and higher ranks in life' of society. The work grew our of the controversy on education including the Bell and Lancaster in early nineteenth century England, and was an attempt to apply the 'Monitorial system' to that secondary day school...In 1816 Part I was published, probably for sale, by M'Creery for Payne and Foss, and for R. Hunter, with a new title-page bearing the author's name. in the next year Part II appeared, printed by M'Creery for the same booksellers." [Chuo, Bentham, pp. 30-32].
