Description and Table of Contents
Description
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. The Old Grammar Schools by Foster Watson was first published in 1916. The book contains an account of the structure of early English grammar schools, together with information on their historical development.
