Joseph Lancaster (1904) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437036510)

Joseph Lancaster (1904) is a biography of the English educator Joseph Lancaster, written by David Salmon. Lancaster was a pioneer in the field of education, developing a system of teaching that emphasized the use of monitors, or older students who would assist the teacher in instructing younger students. This approach was highly effective and allowed for large groups of students to be educated at once.Salmon's book provides a comprehensive overview of Lancaster's life and work, tracing his early years as a Quaker in London, his development of the monitorial system, and his later work in the United States. The book also explores Lancaster's views on education and his efforts to promote his teaching methods around the world.Throughout the book, Salmon draws on a range of primary sources, including Lancaster's own writings and correspondence, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this important figure in the history of education. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education, as well as for those interested in the life and work of Joseph Lancaster specifically.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
