First published in 1908, this important work on the history of education traces the development of teaching in English Grammar Schools from the invention of printing up to 1660. It is not a history of the theories of educational reformers as to what should or should not be taught, but a history of the actual practices of the schools, of their curricula and of the differentiated subjects of instruction. The author relies heavily on the textbooks used in schools in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in particular the ‘Ludus Literarius’ of John Brinsley and the ‘New Discovery of the Old Art of Teaching School’ of Charles Hoole, and makes free use of the School Statutes which state the express intention of the Founder as to what was to be taught.

The period covered is one of great significance in which the Encyclopaedia of the medieval curriculum was abandoned for the modern practice of the differentiation of school subjects. The new knowledge of the Renaissance and the introduction of critical methods and of close analysis gave students a detailed knowledge which could not be fitted into the rigid confines of the medieval Encyclopaedia, while the invention of printing enormously facilitated the increase and spreading of text books for both teachers and pupils.

The scientific study of all forms of human and animal behaviour, sometimes concerned with the methods through which behaviour can be modified is collectively known as psychology. Various psychologists in different parts of the world propounded their theories, counter-theories after painstaking research and experiments. And thus, gradually psychology developed as a discipline in leaps and bound. Now psychology is not relied upon by educationists only but social scientists, judicial and police officials, industrial/business organisations and even politics and international relations also heavily depend on psychology. The present work covers all prominent psychologists from different countries of the world. Alphabetically arranged with names, their short biorgraphical sketch, research and theories propounded, major published works and an analytical note on their theories are the salient features of this encyclopaedic work which provides instant information about the world great psychologists. This will prove an asset to researchers, academics, psychologists, psychiatrists .and other educational scientists besides the general readers inclined to study human(animal) behaviour in different perspectives.
