Memoirs of Frederick A. P. Barnard, D.D., LL.D., &c, Tenth President of Columbia College in the City of New York

Abstract

THE name of Barnard is honourably associated with A the history of education in the United States. To English readers, the best-known bearer of the name is the Hon. Henry Barnard, formerly United States Commissioner of Education, and now living in retirement at Hartford, Connecticut. As the author of numerous local and special reports, and the compiler of valuable statistics and monographs on the various aspects of public instruction; and particularly, as the editor of four or five massive volumes containing reprints of standard treatises on the philosophy and history of education in England and Germany, he has done more than any man in the American Union to promote the study of pedagogical literature.
