Présentation de l'éditeur
Having had the honour to be charged by the College of Surgeons with the delivery of the biennial Hunterian Oration in the year 1869, I availed myself of the occasion to bring under notice some defects in the general education of the country, which in my opinion affect injuriously all classes of the people, and not least the members of my own profession. The Address then delivered is now published according to usage. The earlier pages of it contain a short notice of the genius and the labours of John Hunter; but the subject of Education will be found to occupy the larger part from page 12 to the end.

On Some Defects in General Education (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful treatise on the failings of the educational system in England at the time of its writing, the mid-19th century. The author, a renowned surgeon, laments the state of general education at the time, arguing that it fails all classes of people, not least those in his own profession. The crux of his argument is that the system is failing to keep up with the explosion of knowledge that is occurring because of scientific advancements, particularly in chemistry and physics, which were then in their infancy. He argues that while knowledge of the natural world is increasing at an exponential rate, education is failing to adapt and equip young people with the skills they need to understand it, resulting in a national intellectual deficit. Despite being written almost 200 years ago, the authorâs concerns about how the education system is failing young people remain strikingly relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334773952_0
