Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Education, 1832, Vol. 3: January-April It will of course be their duty not to sanction anything incon sistent with the general principles of the Society. Subject, however, to this general superintendence, they feel that the objects of the Society will be better forwarded by placing before the readers of this work the sentiments of able and liberal men, and thus enabling them to form their own conclusions, as well from the difl'erence as from the agreement of the writers, than by proposing to them, as if from authority, any fixed rule of judgment, or one uniform set of opinions. It would also be inconsistent with the respect which the Committee entertain for the persons engaged in the preparation of these papers, were they to require them strictly to submit their own Opinions to any rule that should be prescribed to them. If, therefore, the general effect of a paper be favourable to the objects of the Society, the Committee will feel themselves at liberty to direct its publication: the details must be the author's alone, and the opinions expressed on each particular question must be con sidered as his, and not those of the Committee. As they do not profess to make themselves answerable for the details of each par ticular essay, they cannot, of course, undertake for the exact con formity of the representations which difi'erent authors may make of the same facts; nor, indeed, do they, for the reasons already given, feel that such conformity is requisite.

Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Education, Vol. 4: July-October, 1832 Thus prepared he came at length, with the first burst of his freedom, from the darkness of his seven years' servitude to the light of the great metropolis: and well, indeed, was it for him if, before this migration, and as he grew up to man's estate in ignorance and idleness, he had not become converted into a vain as well as an uninformed person, or had not gained some village notoriety for habits nearly bordering on vice.

This book assesses the origin of asteroids by analyzing the discovery of Vesta in 1807. Wilhelm Olbers, who discovered Vesta, suggested that the asteroids were the result of a primordial planet’s explosion. Cunningham studies that idea in detail through the writings of Sir David Brewster in Scotland, the era's most prolific writer about the asteroids. He also examines the link between meteorites and asteroids, revealing a synergy between Ernst Chladni, Romantic symbolism, and the music of the spheres. Vesta was a lightning rod for controversy throughout the nineteenth century with observers arguing over its size and color, and the astounding notion that it was self-luminous. It was also a major force for change, as new methods in the field of celestial mechanics were developed to study the orbital perturbations it is subject to. A large selection of private correspondence and scientific papers complete the first comprehensive historical study of Vesta ever published. With a synoptic look at the four asteroids, Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, Cunningham provides a valuable resource on asteroid origins and explains how they were integrated into the newly revealed solar system of the early nineteenth century.

Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Education, 1835, Vol. 10 The author's views certainly fall short Of what we think ought to be done but as a symptom of the increasing liberality of the university, we receive the announcement of such opinions from Oxford with sincere pleasure. The whole pamphlet is well worth an attentive perusal. With regard to the attendance at chapel so much insisted on, many persons are not aware that the use of the entire liturgy In college chapels depends on the authority of an Act of Parliament. In two colleges in Oxford (possibly in others) it has been long since discovered that the act does not prohibit other forms; and though their chapels are opened twice a-day for the church service, their junior members are only required to attend at certain short prayers in the morning and evening. How far considerations of this kind might help to get rid of some of the difficulties of the case, it is not our intention to discuss; indeed, the whole of this part of the question being beside our present purpose, it is enough to have made the above suggestion.
