PREFATORY NOTICE.
It having been suggested to the Writer of the fol-
lowing desultory " Remarks on the Present State of
Education in the Promncej*^ which lately appeared in
•* The British American Journal of Medical and Phy-
sical SciencCf^^ that their more extended circulation in
a connected pamphlet form might be productire of
considerable good, at this particular juncture, he has
—
willingly acquiesced in the proposal ; not, as fancy-
ing that they possess anypeculiar merit, or exhibit any
thing like an elaborate exposition of the merits of so
important a question, but simply as furnishing a plain
unvarnished statement of facts, and containing suffi-
cient evidence of the as yet unsatisfactory legislation
on the subject, and at the same time pointing to the
main defects of the otherwise promising existing
system so clearly as to be likely to assist in rousing
the attention of the Legislature to the necessity of
taking further decisive, yet wary, steps to insure the
complete success of so important an object. One
n.ore reason may be permitted to be assigned for the
second intrusion of these humble remarks upon the
—
public, in the hope of thereby eliciting something
like a more generous concordant movement on the iP
—
part ofthe public Press French as well as English
in behalf of a sacred cause, in which all races, sects,
and political parties, ofwhatever shade, may cordially
—
unite, but regarding which, as far as Lower Canada
