The book ''Lecture On Public Instruction In Prussia (1836)'' by George Stillman Hillard is a historical text that explores the educational system of Prussia in the 19th century. The author, who was a prominent American lawyer and politician, delivers a lecture on the topic of public instruction in Prussia, drawing on his observations and research during a trip to Europe.Hillard begins by providing an overview of the Prussian education system, which he describes as one of the most comprehensive and efficient in the world. He discusses the structure of the system, which is divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, and the role of the government in overseeing and funding education.The author then delves into the methods and curriculum used in Prussian schools, highlighting the emphasis on discipline, order, and obedience to authority. He also examines the role of teachers, who are highly respected and well-trained professionals in Prussia, and the use of examinations to evaluate student progress.Throughout the book, Hillard compares the Prussian system to the American education system, noting both similarities and differences. He argues that the Prussian system is more effective in producing well-educated citizens and promoting social cohesion, but also acknowledges the importance of individualism and creativity in American education.Overall, ''Lecture On Public Instruction In Prussia (1836)'' provides a fascinating insight into the history of education and the development of educational systems in Europe and America. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education or the comparative study of different educational systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
