[42] To except the brief sketch by Quick (Educational reformers, pp. 273–289) and von Raumer’s sketch in translation in Barnard’s American Journal of Education (Vol. 5, pp. 487–520), there is dearth of material on Basedow in English. For an excellent account in the German see Pädagogische Schriften. Mit Einleitungen, Anmerkungen, und Basedow’s Biographie. Herausgegeben von Hugo Göring. Langensalza, 1879–80.

Pinloche (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1900); Pestalozzi: his life and work, by Roger de Guimps (New York: D.
