Abstract
OF all the late Sir Percy Nunn's numerous and varied writings, this book is the acknowledged masterpiece. Within a comparatively short compass, it reveals his educational doctrine and sets forth the powerful arguments by which he supported it. In a sense it is a summary of his life's work. Published in 1920, and reprinted many times during the ensuing ten years, it reached its second and revised edition in 1930. For this third and, as the sad event has proved, final edition, the author completed the revision himself, and sent the result to England from his enforced exile in Madeira a few weeks before his lamented death.
