Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the High School of Edinburgh Of the High School of Edinburgh, this work comprises an historical account, founded on information derived from a careful examination of the Records of the Town-Council, and other authentic Documents. This Seminary, which existed in the beginning of the sixteenth century, was patronised by King James the Sixth, in whose reign it was styled Schola Regia Edinensis; and George the Fourth recognised its national importance by the bestowal of a handsome donation. As the work embraces much that is new respecting the lives, peculiar modes of tuition, and literary labours of the most eminent teachers, as well as brief notices of persons of distinction and rank educated at the High School, it is hoped that it will prove useful to all engaged in the honourable and arduous task of instructing youth, and interesting to a large portion of the public. The changes which have occurred in the Course of Study from the earliest period are embodied in the narrative. But in order to give information more decidedly of a practical character, a detailed account of the system of education at present pursued in the junior classes, prepared by Mr Gunn, one of the Masters, and a similar account of the highest class, furnished by Dr Schmitz, the Rector, occupy a distinct place.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oure Tounis Colledge: Sketches of the History of the Old College of Edinburgh The curtain rises on the Town Council of Edin burgh, assembled, ou the lst August 1560, to consider, as their successors do unto this day, the Acts to be laid before the Parliament about to meet. The laws which thus Parliament passed have deeply affected Scottish history and Scottish character during these succeeding centuries; for by them the old Church was disestablished, and the Presbyterian system set up in its stead. During the preceding winter, a savage civil war between Protest antmiflathnliuhad raged throughout the south of Scotland. The young Queen Mary was in France; but her mother, Mary of Guise, who ably carried on the struggle in her name, had obtained the assistance of a considerable number Of French troops, against whose discipline the Lords of the Congregation, led by the Duke of Chatelherault and Lord James Stuart, had difficulty in making head. In their extremity, acting very much on the advice of John Knox, they bethought them Of seeking assistance from England; and after long negotiation, an English army, under Lord Grey de Wilton, crossed the Border early in April 1560, joined the forces Of the Protestant Lords.

This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter to the Right Hon. The Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh, Regarding the System of Education Pursued at the High School There are two principal avenues to knowledge - the study of words and the study of things. But words are but the arbitrary signs of ideas, and have no value independent of those ideas. To account the mere knowledge of words, therefore, as wisdom, is to mistake the cask for the wine, and the casket for the gem. I say all this, because knowledge in words is often. Extolled be yond its just merits, and put for all wisdom, while knowledge of things, especially of the productions of nature, is derided as if it were mere folly. - Kirby and Spence' s Introduction to Ento mology, vol. I. P. 25, 26.the present state of society. But we have been so long accustomed to attach a high value to classical education as the medium of liberal know ledge, without reference to the change that has taken place in Europe within the last two hun dred years, that it still holds the same place as when all kn owledge was exclusively confined to the dead languages. We still cling to the ladder which has raised us to the eminence, forgetting that when the ascent is attained we might start from a new elevation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oure Tounis Colledge: Sketches of the History of the Old College of Edinburgh; With an Appendix of Historical Documents I Do not intend to apologies for these sketches, although conscious that they are full of imperfections, because I have been trained to hold that a citizen of Edinburgh is bound to do his best - whatever that best may be - to uphold the honour of his "own romantic town." My desire is rather to return thanks to the Proprietors of the 'Scotsman' for giving these sketches wide publicity through their newspaper, and for the permission readily granted me, of republishing them in the form which they now take. My thanks are also most heartily rendered to Mr Robert Adam, City Chamberlain, for much cordial cooperation and valuable help; to Mr Alexander Harris, Deputy Town-Clerk, for assistance in investigating the Minutes of Council; and to another friend, like myself a lover of Edinburgh and of "Edinburgh books," for the use of his valuable library.
