II. SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
(a) _Writings of Comenius_
1. _The great didactic._ Translated with
introductions, biographical and historical, by M. W.
Keatinge. London: Adam and Charles Black. 1896. pp.
468.
This first complete translation of Comenius’ most
philosophic work is admirably done. The biographical
introduction is given ninety-eight pages, and the
historical introduction fifty pages. These are both
interesting and critical. The book unfortunately is
not indexed.
2. _The school of infancy: an essay on the education
of youth during the first six years._ Edited with an
introduction and notes by Will S. Monroe. Boston: D.
C. Heath & Co. 1896. London: Isbister & Co. 1897.
pp. xvi + 99.
There are numerous foot-notes, intended to show
the origin of Comenius’ educational ideals and
the influence of his writings on later educators.
Collateral reading references are given at the
end of each chapter, and in the appendix there is
a reasonably complete bibliography of Comenius
literature.
3. _The orbis pictus._ Translated into English by
Charles Hoole. London: John and Benj. Sprint, 1728.
Syracuse, N.Y.: C. W. Bardeen. 1887. pp. 100.
