Excerpt from Science for the People

For more than two years a tedious relapse of a former chest complaint has prevented my joining the meet ings of the Council of the Society of Arts; but my thoughts and exertions have been only so much the more concentrated on the various means for facilitating the attainment of scientific and practical knowledge by the people. The lively interest taken in this subject by your Lordship and my other colleagues, induces me to submit to the Council, as on previous occasions, a. Brief report of my endeavours. I will venture to add a few considerations respecting the general system of Elementary and Industrial Instruction which I conceive to be wanted by the working classes of this country, and in which educational facilities like those I am engaged in organizing on a. Small scale, might acquire a full development.
