About This Book

The author replies to two pamphlets that criticised his earlier letter on infant education, defending both his interpretation of a public notice and his concern that a proposed infant school society, while admitting children of all denominations, would exclude Dissenters from its committee. He reviews reported speeches and printed assurances about openness, contends that organizational exclusion undermines genuine inclusivity, and rebuts specific misrepresentations. The pamphlet combines factual correction, argument over policy and practice, appeals to Christian principle and scriptural authority, and a call for cooperative, nonsectarian arrangements in providing early education.
