EDUCATION. The Article " Education " in the Seventh
Edition of the "Encyclopedia Britannica," from the pen of JAMES
MILL, Esq. (late of the India Rinse), contains an analytical inves-
tigation of the end to which education is directed, and the means
which are available for its attainment. Upon this, as well as upon
all other subjects of either permanent or temporary interest, the
"Encyclopaedia Britannica" will be found to contain a vast amount
of well-digested information, contributed by the ablest writers of the
age, rendering it altogether invaluable as a Book of Reference and
Repertory of Universal Knowledge.
An index of 68,000 References, compiled with great industry and
judgment, is appended to the work, forming a ready key to its multi-
farious contents.
