Excerpt from How Can the Church Educate the People?: The Question Considered With Reference to the Incorporation and Endowment of Colleges for the Middle and Lower Classes of Society; In a Letter Addressed to the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury In regard to the specific enlargement or endowment of St. Mark's, and other Training Colleges for teachers, the friends of the Church may fairly differ in Opinion as to the time and mode of making the attempt. He would venture, however, respectfully to intimate, that all great movements, to be successful, must prove continuous, and unless we evince some spirit of faith in our cause, and generous confidence in its supporters, the feelings of sym pathy which now bind their hearts with ours, may here after be enlisted in new undertakings. If restlessness be one great characteristic of modern Churchmen, perseverance is a virtue for which they have much occasion. That the friends of Training Colleges will persevere in spite of every discouragement, is the Author's firm conviction but if endowments be as essential as he believes to their character as National Institutions, the sooner we commence our arduous enterprise the less will be our eventual share of personal responsibility.

This is the first history of English public schools founded by Evangelicals in the nineteenth century. Five existing public schools can be traced back to this period: Cheltenham College, Dean Close School, Monkton Combe School, Trent College, and St LawrenceÕs College. Some of these schools were set up in direct competition with new Anglo-Catholic schools, while others drew their inspiration from and, to a greater or lesser extent, were modelled on their rivals. Harris documents, for the first time, the rise of Evangelical societies such as the influential Church Association and the little-known Clerical and Lay Associations. An extensive bibliography and useful biographical survey of influential Evangelicals of the period completes this groundbreaking study.
