'Mrs Simon is to be congratulated on this thoughtful, wise and
wholly impressive work. It will long stand as the most useful and
thorough investigation of an educational system and of educational
ideals that were to transform the English society during the course
of the sixteenth century.' W. K. Jordan, The Journal of Modern

reviewed the evidence carefully and presents conclusions that are
moderate, even tentative, and therefore the more convincing.' W. M.
