when adequate motives
for the acquisition
of them present
themselves.

In the case of the unerudite class their the plan of operation
has been to exclude them as far as to as great an extent as possible from
those primary attainments, reading and writing, but more
particularly reading, which while they are the indispensable
are at the same time the highly efficient means of
putting them in possession of those higher attainments
the possession of which impacts to place aggregate a man in the political politically thinking class,
if so it be that motive adequate to the production of the
necessary labour have found their way into his mind

This policy being
counteracted by
Bells new mode
of instruction: till
when fortuitous
to affect instruction
sufficed. When
Lancaster took up
Dr Bells plan, stopping
the influx of
instructions was not no
longer possible: remain
the confining it to
chancels in which it
should be least in danger
of being applied to the
purpose of true political
instruction. (see Church of
Englandism)

The f As to this point, the their first object and accordingly
the first case was to keep the incredible class
in question to as great an extent as possible out of possession
of those this lowest class of literary attainments.
For this purpose Till Dr Bells A mode scheme/plan of instruction came into notice forced itself at least
in action with the law of case for its sufficient motive efficient cause
was sufficient. As When by the adoption given
to method of the Church of Englandist Divine by a scheme
the Bell system — became the Bell and Lancaster system inaction
and indolence were no longer sufficient. That of To
stop the influx of this primary erudition into the public
mind was no longer possible: to divert it into and come
from it within such those chancel in which it should be
least in danger of it being applied to the purpose of political
instruction illumination was the only [remaining] course that remained.

Hence the National
Security: leading Humber
the Bishop of London
whose avowed endeavour
was to lay natural will
and understanding prostrate at Clergy's feet.

In pursuance of this course was accordingly that Society calling itself the National
Society was instituted — that Society which had for its
object — its avowed object — its object avowed by one of its leading
members the Bishop of London, "the prostration of the will
"understanding and will at the feet of the Church of England Clergy
whose discourses were thereby to be received as the Oracles of God. ☞ Add Why attainments

And (as may be seen
in Church of Englandism
examined) to this purpose
was the whole scheme
of instruction is accordingly
directed
