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].
