' This table is important , ' as it exhibits the nature and extent of the instructiorif communicated in the Enmore stfhbbl , which * now ( 1815 ) consists ' of a hundred children . " A
synoptical view , moreover , is thus presented of the respective systems of Dr . Bell and Mr . Lancaster . Many persons suppose that the mechanism of the schools denominated severally after those two individuals , is , in substance , the same . No opinion can be more contrarv to the feet . Some of the
points in regard to which their plans differ , are here described : and others will be visible on an inspection of a Madras and of a Lancasterian seminary ; although the chief of the variations hacve not been overlooked by Mr . Poole . Of the schools somewhat
improperly termed " national , " it is a remarkable feature that the method of instruction observed in them is strictly unifprm ; no deviations being permitted from the rules and order prescribed by Dr . Bell . In the other class of pomilar schools , on the
contrary , ail those improvements take Mace which experience suggests or weal circumstances demand . The Royal JLnncabterian institutions , in most large t ? bwhs of the " kingdpm , are conducted , it is true agreeably to the hading fifftttiptes firstexdrn ^ Itfied irt this nation bV ' jfche active arid b ' efrievotent' person Whose / Vrarne thbsb semfri&ries desei-v-^ lty ^ f ^ etukte : % it tnfe 'dppOrattls * U hot identical with Wh a * maty have b&m ' s&eff a * W 6 \ B 6 rdi ^ H : y ^ tii > ' ¦ Th the
