Originally published in 1968, this work examines the era when grammar schools were at their peak during the 17th century.

This study addresses the historical shift and the eventual loss of classical subjects within secondary schools. By analyzing the original purpose of these schools, the text offers a way to measure the long-term value of modern secondary education in comparison to these traditional models. It is a significant resource for those interested in the history of education and the evolution of academic subjects in England.
