Monroe, Paul. Text-book in the history of education. *$1.90. Macmillan.
“Mr. Monroe can certainly justify his selections, and, take it all in all, has given us a book that is the most useful textbook on the subject that has yet appeared. The work gives evidence of hurried preparation (in certain infelicities of style) and lack of careful proofreading.” George H. Locke.
