NOTE to the Article on The Education Bill.

SINCE the above Article was written, we have received a copy of a Translation, just published, of M. Cousin's Treatise on The State of Education in Holland, as regards Schools for the 'Working Classes,' by Leonard Horner, F. R. S. accompanied with some Preliminary observations by the Translator. The work of M. Cousin, like all his former publications of a similar kind, is replete with valuable information; and Mr Horner's Translation of it is executed with such fidelity and elegance as to produce the most favourable impressions both of his general knowledge and his skill in this department of Literature. But his prefatory observations surprise us, and that in no ordinary degree; for they are mainly directed against Lord Brougham's Measure, which, as altered and amended in the Bill lately introduced into the House of Peers by his Lordship, it is, nevertheless, very plain Mr Horner has not taken the trouble to examine! Incredible as the thing may appear, his whole observations are directed against the previous Bill of 1385, reprinted in June last, with some additions; and he accordingly employs himself in combating Provisions altogether foreign to the Measure in its present shape. Thus we find him pointing out as amongst its radical defects and blemishes, that it appoints the Lord Privy Seal, &c. members of the Education Board; that it makes the three Life Commissioners Lawyers; and, worst of all, that it gives the Board power to establish schools on whatever plan it pleases; whereas, if he had taken the trouble, as in all honesty and fairness he was bound to do, to peruse the Bill, as amended and circulated before his book was published, he would have found, that in these and other instances, he had been very idly and ineptly engaged in objecting to proposals which existed only in his own fancies! We are truly sorry to see a man of Mr Horner's respectability and liberality of sentiment, from mere precipitancy and carelessness, thus lending a helping hand to those who, either from dislike to the quarter in which the Bill originated, or to all plans for the improvement of the lower orders, have been doing their best to misrepresent and discredit it. He has thus unwittingly leagued himself with persons whose petty hostility and narrow views he must in his heart despise and reprobate. These strange mispresentations do not, however, in the least interfere with the utility of his Translation, which we cordially recommend to all who are desirous of information on its truly interesting subject.
