It allows for an attempt to tell the story of mechanics' institutes during the formative years and the period of pioneer activity; and to assess the position held by them when, after the Great Exhibition, the country stood on the threshold of a new effort to further general and technical education, and voluntary effort was about to be superseded, gradually, by government action' (preface).
