Excerpt from Secondary Education in the Nineteenth Century The following pages deal only with England and Wales. Though foreign education exercised considerable in uence in this country, the nineteenth century was far more national than the sixteenth. The English Renaissance re presented the effect of a self-conscious civilisation on a people which felt the inferiority of its own culture, whereas in the nineteenth century Englishmen, in consequence of their industrial supremacy, were led to an undue deprecia tion of other nations. English education in Tudor times can only be treated as a branch of the tree whose roots were in Italy: from whatever quarter the seed of our nine teenth century education was brought, it had a life which was all its own. Moreover, the translation of ideas into practice followed quite different lines in England and abroad. In France and Germany educational systems were created by the State; in England institutions grew up with a minimum of State intervention. Comparative edu cation is a study of the greatest importance, but it is based on the recognition of a difference in educational development in different countries rather than on an attempt to find a unity between them.
