All communications relating to the Journal and other publications of the Editor may be addressed to HENRY BARNARD, P. O. Box U, Hartford, Conn. PROF. QUICK, author of Educational Reformers, in an article in the English Monthly Journal of Education for July, 1875, writes: Those who know the wealth of German pædeutical literature often lament the poverty of our own. But many a man has hunted for his spectacles while they were on his forehead; and many a reader in this country has groped about in the twilight of a foreign language for what he might have seen in the broad daylight of his own. Indeed, the history of education and treatises upon everything connected with education may be read without having recourse to any foreign literature whatever. This will no doubt seem very startling; but we can assure our readers that we are not speaking without book, or indeed without the very books we are talking of.. We have before us the chief educational works that have been published in the United States, and we find that we already have a large educational literature in our own language. A great deal of this literature owes its origin to the energy and educational zeal of one man, the Hon. Henry Barnard, who was the first "Commissioner of Education" in the United States. Many years ago he formed "a plan of a series of publications to be issued monthly or quarterly and devoted exclusively to the History, Discussion, and Statistics of Systems, Institutions and Methods of Education in different countries." This plan he has carried out on a grand scale, and we now have his "American Journal of Education" in 24 volumes of seven or eight hundred pages each. An index to the whole work will be published shortly, and the title might then very fitly be changed to Barnard's Cyclopædia of Education, This great work, however, can never be generally accessible to the majority of students. The price alone (£20) must exclude it from private libraries. But it may be consulted at public libraries, at the British Museum e. g., and at South Kensington, and it is a mine which may be very profitably worked by the editors of Educational Journals in this country. But it is now no longer necessary to purchase the whole of the "American Journal" in order to get particular papers in it. Dr. Barnard has lately issued a great number of these papers as separate publications. To show what stores of literature already exist in English we publish the list (600 titles) at the end of this number. PROF. HODGSON, Edinburgh University, one of the most practical and vigorous educators of the age, in an Address before The Educational Institute of Scotland in September, 1875, spoke of the want of a History of Education in the English Language, but in a prefatory note to the pamphlet edition of the Address adds: Since this Address was printed, my friend Mr. Quick has called my attention to Dr. Barnard's American Journal of Education, which really contains, though not in continuous form, a History and, it may be said, an Encyclopædia of Education, Papers extracted from it, to the number of six or seven hundred, may now be purchased separately. A list of these is published at the end of the Monthly Journal of Education for July last. [Dr. Barnard, it is understood, will in 1876-7 issue a continuous and comprehensive History of Education, more complete so far as British and American Systems and Institutions are concerned than Raumer, Fritz, Schmid, or Palmer.] December, 1875. The North American Review for January, 1876, in an article devoted to the educational development of the country for the first century, alluding to the deficiency of historical and philosophical discussion of public instruction, and of early official documents, says: Private enterprise has to a remarkable degree remedied some of the deficiencies of governmental neglect. Dr. Henry Barnard, of Hartford, began in 1856 the publication of an American Journal of Education, which, with various changes of form, has been continued to the present time. It now comprises twenty-four octavo volumes, including in all some twenty thousand pages, illustrated by one hundred and twenty-five portraits, and eight hundred cuts representing school buildings. Dr. Hodgson, a distinguished professor in the University of Edinburgh, has recently remarked that this publication "really contains, though not in continuous form, a history, and it may be said an encyclopædia of education." It is the best and only general authority in respect to the progress of American education during the past century. It includes statistical data, personal reminiscences, historical sketches, educational biographies, descriptions of institutions, plans of buildings, reports, speeches, and legislative documents. For the first sixteen volumes an index is published, and for the next eight volumes an index is in preparation. The comprehensiveness of this work and its persistent publication under many adverse circumstances, at great expense, by private and almost unsupported exertions, entitle the editor to the grateful recognition of all investigators of our system of instruction. He has won a European reputation by this Journal, and in our own country will always be an indispensable guide and companion to the historian of education." The International Review for January, 1874, in an article on Universal Education, remarks: About the same time (1837) in Connecticut, Dr. Henry Barnard was commencing that career of devoted and untiring labor, in the course of which he has rendered such distinguished service to the cause of popular education, [not only as organizer and administrator of systems and institutions, but in contributions by pen and voice to the literature and public knowledge of the subject.] He gave himself to the work with the enthusiasm of an Apostle. Commencing the Connecticut Common School Journal in 1838, he entered at once with ability on the fundamental questions pertaining to popular education, and began to publish for the benefit of all educators, and others interested, the most valuable information as to what had been done in Europe, and the aims and methods of the best systems and institutions there. In his repeated visits to the principal countries of the old world, he has examined for himself the experiments in progress, and by personal communication with the most prominent educators of Germany and Switzerland, has possessed himself of their best and broadest views. The results of his observations and thinking, he has, for a long course of years, been carefully digesting and publishing in his Common School Journal, and in the invaluable volumes of his American Journal of Education. These volumes constitute an Encyclopædia of facts, arguments, and practical methods which no organizer or teacher can afford to be without. Besides the preparation of these works, Dr. Barnard has delivered lectures and addresses on his favorite subject numbered literally by thousands. Probably no one man in the United States has done as much to advance, direct and consolidate the movement for popular education. In looking back to the commencement of his life-long labors, it would seem that he must contemplate with eminent satisfaction the progress of public sentiment and the good results already attained, as well as the brightening prospects for the future. He has done a work for which his country and coming generations ought to thank him and do honor to his name. The late Chancellor Kent, even in the earlier years of Dr. Barnard's labors, characterized him as "the most able, efficient, and best-informed officer that could be engaged perhaps in the service;" and said of the earlier volumes of his [Connecticut Common School] Journal and other publications, "I can only refer to these documents with the highest opinion of their value." His later volumes are much more complete and valuable than the earlier. Hon. John D. Philbrick, LL.D., in his Introductory Address as President before the National Teachers' Association in Chicago, 1863, observes: Of the one hundred thousand teachers in the country, how few are thoroughly versed in the educational literature of the day? How few are there who are receiving higher salaries can boast of a respectable educational library? If proof of this unwelcome truth was needed, it would be sufficient to refer to a single publication,-I mean Barnard's Journal of Education, which has now reached its thirteenth volume,-a library in itself. Costing little considering the amount of matter it contains, embracing exhaustive treatises on almost all departments of education; yet I am told that the number of copies sold has not been sufficient to pay for the stereotype plates. The following Treatises have all appeared as separate; articles in Barnard's American Journal of Education. Any Book or Pamphlet on the List will be sent by mail, postage paid, on receiving the price in postage stamps or money order. On orders of $20 a discount of 20 per cent. will be made. Address H.
