This book reviews the educational landscape in early 19th century Scotland, providing an overview of the systems of classical instruction in grammar schools and university philological classes. The author emphasizes the need for reform, arguing that while classical learning in Scotland is accurate and philology well conducted, it is deficient in depth and breadth. The author points to England as an example of educational progress, where a more extended school curriculum allows for greater classical knowledge. The author suggests reforms to the Scottish system, proposing that philological classes be moved to the university level, allowing grammar schools to focus on an expanded classical curriculum with more time devoted to Greek study. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of substantial classical education to the health of Scottish scholarship in general.
