The department of superintendence of the National Educational Association, in connection with the meeting at Brooklyn, February 16–18, 1892, held exercises in commemoration of the three-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Comenius, with the following addresses: “Private life and personal characteristics,” Dr. John Max Hark (pp. 703–711); “Text-books of Comenius,” Superintendent William H. Maxwell (pp. 712–723); “Place of Comenius in the history of education,” Professor Nicholas Murray Butler (pp. 723–728). 3. _Essays on educational reformers._ By Robert Hebert Quick. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1893. pp. 119–171. One of the best brief critical surveys of the writings of Comenius and written in the fascinating style of the genial Quick. 4. _History of pedagogy._ By Gabriel Compayré. Translated by W. H. Payne. Boston: D. C. Heath & Co. 1886. pp. 122–136. A brief summary of Comenius’ most important contributions to primary instruction. 5. _The educational ideal: an outline of its growth in modern times._ By James Phinney Munroe. Boston: D. C. Heath & Co. 1895. pp. 68–94. A concise and critical survey of the reforms of Comenius and the other realists. After Quick, the best brief survey of the modern movement; and at many points it supplements Quick. 6. _Barnard’s American Journal of Education._ Published at Hartford by the editor, Henry Barnard. June, 1858. Vol. V. pp. 257–298. Dr. Barnard was one of the earliest to call attention to the pedagogic value of Comenius’ writings. This translation from Karl von Raumer’s _Geschichte der Pädagogik_ was, up to the time Professor Laurie’s book appeared, the only comprehensive study of Comenius in English. Raumer, however, is not an impartial critic of the realists. 7. _The history of the unitas fratrum._ By Edmund de Schweinitz. Bethlehem, Penn.: Moravian Publication Office. 1885. pp. 693. An authoritative account of the Moravian Brethren and of Comenius’ relation to the same. 8. _Monatshefte der Comenius-Gesellschaft._ Ludwig Kellar, editor. Berlin: Hermann Heyfelder. 1892–1900. 10 volumes. A high grade bi-monthly review published by the Comenius Society in the interest of education generally, and in particular of the views held by the Moravian reformer. The review is a mine of rich material on Comenius and his contempories. 9. _Leben und Schicksale des Johann Amos Comenius._ Von Anton Vrbka. Znaim: Fournier und Haberler. 1892. pp. 160. The best _brief_ German life of Comenius. It is accurate and sympathetic, and contains 17 wood-cuts. 10. _Über des Johann Amos Comenius Leben und Wirksamkeit._ Von Anton Gindely. Znaim: Fournier und Haberler. 1893. pp. 109. Another brief German work. Professor Gindely is a Roman Catholic, and while he writes of Comenius with less enthusiasm, he presents his life with critical fairness.
