George Charles Holls: A Memoir (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from George Charles Holls: A Memoir

This memoir of my father was prepared by the late Dr. Henry Barnard in 1888, and was intended by him to appear in what was to be the final number of his great American Journal of Education. It was, in fact, printed, as pages 403 to 414 of that number, and the present edition is a reprint of ad vance sheets kindly furnished to me, with a few manuscript corrections, by the author. So long as there was the slightest hope of completing the final volume of his Journal, Dr. Barnard preferred that this memoir should not appear in separate form. His death, on July 5, 1900, has removed the last reason for hesitation or delay, and the memoir is now offered to the friends of my father, exactly as it was written.
