Excerpt from The Political Experience of the Ancients, in Its Bearing Upon Modern TimesIN collecting materials for the Reports on the state of Education, and on the moral and social condition of large masses of the working population, which, as Commissioner under an Act of Parliament te lating to some of the mining districts, I have been called upon during the last ten years to address to the Government, and which have been annually laid before Parliament, I have felt it to be a part of my duty to examine pretty closely the periodical and other literature, which, from its cheapness or its spirit, is found to attract a large share of attention among that class of society.No one having any pretensions to general read ing can have gone through this process without being struck with the immense amount of error in principles and perversions of facts, pervading a great portion of this species of literature, on all the questions, without exception, on which it is most important to the peace and happiness of a people that they should be truly and faithfully informed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
