24 PREFACE. THE following volume is a reproduction of the Treatise printed in 1863, under the title of German Educational Reformers, with omissions and additions to make the treatment more special and comprehensive of the great teachers, educators, and organizers of school systems in Germany, from the sixth to the nineteenth century. The omissions are the chapters on Bacon, Locke, Montaigne, Rousseau, and Pestalozzi, and their influence on German education, which will now be found in the separate treatises on English, French, and Swiss Pedagogy. The additions include memoirs of the early Christian Teachers and Founders of Schools, prior to the fourteenth century, and the Organizers of Public Elementary Schools, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centu ries, with a summary view of the present Systems and Statistics of Public Instruction in the German States.
