The A ceoc Hit of The Course of Studies pursued in Oxford which has been given by the Author of Two able Replies to the Edinburgh Review, and the important confession which he has extorted from his opponents, that thdr animadversions are inapplicable to the present state of that University, may, perhaps, require some apology for any farther discussion of the subject On one point, however, I have the misfortune to differ from that A uthor, with regard to the views which he entertains of Lord Bacon s Writings, and the importance which he has attached to A ristode s Logic in the system of Academical discipline jand something still appears to be wanting as to the History of thos.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a panorama of the education system at Oxford University, circa 1810. The author of this book, fresh from the reforms of 1800 and 1807, details the changes recently implemented to the institution's examination and curriculum requirements. The book argues that Oxford, far from being a bastion of entrenched tradition, was in fact a hotbed of reform and academic achievement. Driven by a deep exploration into the texts and philosophy of Aristotle, the author illuminates the tension between the new inductive method of reasoning and the old syllogistic one, arguing forcefully for the usefulness of the former. Detailing the daily exercises and examinations required of students to obtain their degrees, this book gives a richly textured portrait of student life and academic practices in England in the early 19th century.
