8vo. pp. 256, 4. original cloth-backed bds. (short split in upper front joint, covers spotted, some scattered light foxing). A scarce and important report. Charles Duncombe [1792-1867], a prominent American-born physician and politician in Upper Canada, was appointed in 1835 to visit and report upon the systems of education pursued in the United States, and to offer recommendations for the educational institutions of Upper Canada. His report (pp. 68), in which he stresses the need for practical education and adequate financial support for common schools and teacher education, is followed by a lengthy appendix of supporting documentation (pp. 69-256). Although Duncombe's proposals were not immediately implemented, many would be introduced under the administration of Egerton Ryerson and would form the basis of Ontario educational policy until 1871, i.e. local assessment, elective school boards, female education, the creation of normal schools, non-sectarian religious instruction, &c.
