Originally published in 1942, this book contains eleven lectures commemorating the visit of the great educator Jan Amos Komenský (Comenius) to Cambridge in 1641. The lectures all come from a background in education or writing, and each describes the effect that Comenius has had on their experience of education, the world, and social order.

This inspiring and accessible book lays out his plans to spread knowledge throughout the world so as to ensure that boys and girls everywhere could be trained in a variety of subjects.
